$3.25 gal. is higher than a gal. of premium gasoline ($3.17) today.

In 4/07, #2 oil was $2.55.

In 12/06, it was $2.44.

People will be dialing back this winter, and not because Green Al Gore
toed them to.


I live three miles from the North Pole Flint Hills Refinery in
Alaska. I am paying $3.27 a gallon for No.1 fuel oil.
The crude is shipped another 350 mile via the trans-Alaska pipeline
then by tanker to the West Coast of the USA where they pay less.
Figure that one out.


What do you pay for housing (I.e. cost of living)?

In some of the 200 Alaskan remote villages like along the Yukon river
they are paying about $6.00 a gallon.
A lot of people are switching to wood


Hpw much wood is available? What's the cost? Does it make any
sense?
