Don't the gas stations post the price on big signs where you live? I get
a daily update of gasoline prices every day on my drive to work, without
having to check usenet.

Come on Clare - "the rest of the world" pays more for gas because of all of
the taxes they load on a gallon of gas, to fund their social programs. Why
should folks in the US care what people in Great Brittain or anywhere else
pay - we don't benefit from those programs. The US is not responsible for
the price of gas in other parts of the world.

Maybe the US is responsible at least partly, but not for the reasons you're
discussing. The US consumes the largest amount of oil in the world by almost
3x the amount of the second largest user which is China. I wonder
hypothetically if the US stopped using oil altogether, would the glut of oil
on the world market cause a price reduction by the other oil producing
countries.

We also drew heavily upon our oil stocks to feed the Allied war

But we are a bit piggy when it come to using oil.

Everytime I see comments about gas prices, I flashback to early sixties in
Montreal when I was a kid. Gas prices were $0.30 a gallon, bus tickets were
7.1/2 cents and chocolate bars were 10 cents. Too bad we can't travel back,
buy our gas and then flash forward. Of course it would be leaded gas, but
that would be fine for the Shelby Cobra I'd have stowed away somewhere.

The figures you cited are from 2007. China is still second in oil

It's your own fault -- I mean Canadians collectively, not you personally --
that gas is so much more expensive in Canada than in the U.S.

The difference is due *entirely* to taxes.

I couldn't have said it better: I (we) do not give a crap what others think

I cannot control what others think of me or my country, nor will I conform

We are what we are and if others don't like it, they own the problem.

Regarding suicide "killers" (not just bombers), they CAN be dealt with. In
the decade of the 90s, we suffered about one terrorist attack per year (1st
WTC bombing, attacks on our embassies, the USS Cole, kidnapping ambassadors,
9-11, etc.).

As a result of 9-11, the strategy of the U.S. has been to prevent another
attack on the U.S. or U.S. interests abroad. This was quite successful in
that for ten years there was not a single offense against our territory or
to our interests abroad.

It didn't last.

There have been three such incidents in the current administration as the
president implemented a policy - of which you no doubt approve - of
adjusting our international words and actions to garner love.

Gasoline is cheaper today - in inflation-adjusted dollars - than it has been
at any time since 1918 (except for a brief spike in the Carter

That price difference should be available to whomever decided to pay
cash.
If the dealer (furniture, whatever) is willing to pay a credit card
company 3 1/2% then he should give that as a discount for cash.
Problem is... bankers don't like things to happen in cash..neither
does the IRS (Revenue Canada).

You still have pricing differences for cash vs credit card? I haven't
seen that around here in a long time. FWIW, I just paid $3.69 for the
cheap stuff in Central NY, yesterday.

I don't see many cash vs credit differences, but the cheaper ones still do
here (07410) and there (02143). NY is always more expensive than NJ. Lets
not talk about CT ...

That price difference should be available to whomever decided to pay
cash.
If the dealer (furniture, whatever) is willing to pay a credit card
company 3 1/2% then he should give that as a discount for cash.
Problem is... bankers don't like things to happen in cash..neither
does the IRS (Revenue Canada).

I asked some merchant about that. They said that the hassles of
handling cash (bank charges for depositing cash around here!) were
almost more than the cost of credit.

The Loves truck stops here in Texas do, a nickel/gallon at the ones I
pass between Houston and San Antonio on I-10.
Diesel was $3.749 cash and 3.799 credit.

A cashless society is forced upon us by the Bankers. That makes it so
much easier to control us peasants.

The credit card companies make that impossible for the merchant. Give a
cash discount, you can't accept our card.

Some, like Canadian Tire, get around it by using coupons, etc (ie:
CanTire Money) to non-credit card customers.

$4.73 per US gallon in Central Ontario, Canada - about80 miles from
Buffalo.

Come on Clare - "the rest of the world" pays more for gas because of all of
the taxes they load on a gallon of gas, to fund their social programs. Why
should folks in the US care what people in Great Brittain or anywhere else
pay - we don't benefit from those programs. The US is not responsible for
the price of gas in other parts of the world.
It's not all texes, buster.
In 1973 I was paying $1.65 a liter for gas that was, at best, 85
octane. Shipping cost was about half the cost - and then tax on top of
that. (landlocked central african country with no refineries)
ANd no social programs paid for by the taxes either.
Just one lane of blacktop most of the way across a country just a
touch larger than texas (290585 sq miles)
