Don, well said.
Of all websites, I was surprised to see this pop up here.
Granted, none of us like paying the higher price. But as petrol collectors, I would have thought we were better educated than the general public on this.
With all the talk of hotrods, and hemi's in trucks, and how bad everyones fuel mileage is, then to complain about the gas price is like the old saying "Don't complain about the farmer with your mouth full".
Lets don't forget to thank the fine folks at the E.P.A. department, that are concerned with your health and environment, that Mandate lower RVP formula gasolines during the summer months which are much more expensive to make.
And just to be fair, we will have different formulas for different cities. So it can't be produced by just any refinery in any market, each area will have it's own special requirement. That way if there is a problem at the refinery, it can't be trucked in from other markets to help keep the price down.
Why don't we hear people complaining the Wonderful new E85 Ethanol blend gasoline, that gives you reduced fuel mileage, and is selling for about 40¢ more than a gallon of gas?
Last year Straight Ethanol hit $5.00 a gallon, but no one ever mentioned how that price affected the gas price.
OK, I'll shut up.
