The closer a refinery is to a large population area the less expensive it is to distribute it. Evidently, there are a couple of refineries complaining that they don't get the oil from there now, and both are immediately willing. Pipe it down to the 9 existing refineries in WY or MT instead, and let them build more capacity. I'm sure they'd be willing. Interesting list, isn't it? Look at Japan vs China! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oil_refineries What ****es me off is the amount of natural gas they burn through to melt the oil tar out of the sand.

And what people forget is that the Keystone pipeline would run Canuckistani oil over US ground to be processed and all of it would then be EXPORTED. Let's make a much shorter pipeline, OK? -- Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything. -- George Lois |

It's nationwide, I think. http://www.newjerseygasprices.com/Map_Gas_Prices.aspx Last week a weird thing happened with gas prices around here. I live in Atlanta during the week and commute back home to E. Alabama for the weekend. Gas prices up there jumped $.40 just before last weekend but they didn't move a penny here (they'd both increased about $.20 in the week or two before that). The prices have been unstable for a year, or more, but I found it odd that in the 75-100 miles there is such a difference in the deltas. |

The last I drove were in the summer of 2010, in Italy in the area of Pisa-Firenze (Florence) and a bit south. In places there was semiconfusing construction. Of course the quality of the roads is generally fine. In my opinion driving in Italy is sort of "sporty" but I am just fine with the Italian way of driving. In Paris is also fine, but don't be in a hurry to get where you want to go. It's good to be a little assertive and have good insurance. In the Netherlands, it's generally much too crowded and under construction to be fun. And stay out of the city centers!! -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

In Illinois the difference can result from having a county tax, municpal tax and of course the state tax.
