I work for an oil company too. I don’t mind high prices at the pump, it’s a barometer for work, projects we will have. I can say until recently it’s been tougher than woodpecker lips.

ah ok gotcha. thanks for the explanation. I used up a little over a half a tank today so had to top off for tomorrow. Gas has dropped another .04 at one of the places I buy. regular is 2.08. premium is 2.58. Round rock is not exactly a teeny tiny town. but I do see your point
Taxes are another component of the price you pay for gas. You went from one of the lowest state gas tax rates in 2012 to a middle of the road state in just 6 years.

West coast states are a good example of the taxes raising the price of gas .
I am paying 285.9 today when AAA said the average price in the US today Is 230 something for regular .

87 10% has been sub $2.00 here for a week in OKC area.
Oil companies still drilling like mad hatters. Which is good for me as a titleman

Anything that hurts the Middle East is a positive for America. Keep drilling and **** those goat herders.
$2.89 for 93 here. My local station was out of everything else.
Not that it matters, my car will only run on 93.

While we are own the subject of gas can anyone explain why there is such a big price difference in regular vs premium compared to say 10 years ago? I remember all my childhood and teenage years up into my early twenties a .20 cent difference in premium over regular but now that I'm older and own 2 vehicles that run premium there is a .70 - .90 cent difference.
Any ideas?

How long ago was it "you can't drill your way out of this" How do these morons keep getting elected?
Yeah it used to be 10c per grade in my area, 89 was say 2.00, 91 2.10, 93 2.20
Now it's 87 2.89, 89 3.33, 93. 3.65
And diesel is 3.79...used to be cheaper than regular 87
I never understood why people stand in line to buy a 12 oz water in a fancy bottle with a fancy label for $1.89, then complain about $2.50 + for a gallon of gas...
Oil companies & drilling companies were operating at $30 oil. But is wasn't pretty. Massive layoffs, 0 money spent on exploration/expansion.
Of course everyone loves cheap gas. But there is a limit.
People living in non-oilfield states don't realize the impact on the economy with cheap oil prices in place.
I'm not banging the gong for $100 oil, bit there is a limit on the low end for it to remain profitable for U.S. companies.

I think very few people here who are complaining would stand in line for a bottle of water that cost 1.89
I was referring to population in general. I see it every day. Fancy shaped bottle, fancy name, catchy label. Water is water. I don't need mine to be allegedly imported from Fiji or some other exotic place. It's all most likely from a tap in Tennessee somewhere.
Don't get me started on $4 energy drinks. I bet many here slam one every day.
Aint paying $4 for and energy drink. Its hard enough to pay $2 for coffee
OPEC has been reducing production trying to drive prices up but to no avail. We're winning! Texas right now is the new Alaska gold rush. If I was younger I'd be there.
Opec has stated they will have to back the truck up and come up with a new plan.
