How much is Regular Unleaded Where You are?

Marilyn, I worked on a large project for the Gulf of Mexico that took only two years from start of construction to first oil. That time could double if it is only in conception. We need more refineries.

I won't even try to defend ExxonMobil because we've gotta blame somebody!

Down from $4.09.9 to $3.84.9 here right now.

That's what I keep telling people, but they come back at me saying that the refineries in Houston and Corpus are running reduced rates. So why is that if refineries are the bottleneck.

Someone is in control of this, someone has the answer. Just wish they would step up and make things right.

First, there hasn't been a "new" refinery built in many years. (Some had added on and some have revamped.) Second, between availability and environmentally, there's no place to build.

Production is ramped down because the refineries need to be modernized.

$3.82.9 here today

$4.69 in Homer Alaska (I'm on vacation). I hear it is down from almost $5.00

The TV ads here say heating oil is $6.50 a gallon here and if it stays that high, it could cost $2100 per month to heat your home this winter

The state of Alaska is proposing a $1200 rebate to help with heating costs this winter. Sounds to me like it needs to be A LOT MORE!!!

Gayle, that's insane! It's bad enough here!

How will the people be able to pay other necessities? I think it's down to $3.71 here.
