I love how when something like this happens all of a sudden everyone becomes valve experts and they know why the BP thing happened along with knowing all about economics around the cause of gas prices. Anyone who gets their information from the media might as well come up with their own explanation because it's probably about as accurate. Thanks SSE 4 2SS for giving some truth when you seem to actually know what you're talking about.

If its $5.00 average, then i'll have to plan on california being about $5.75 since this state always has to one up the rest of the country on its douchebaggery

What's next, an electric camaro ss ? (super surge) !!No what we need is just one blend of gas, that would help bring down the price by itself.
What do you think an electric camaro would run in 1/4 mile ? 36.55 ? |

SSE 4 2SS, I'm fully aware of what youre talking about when you speak of humans "overlooking" things in your industry as it happens everywhere. In refineries, I can call a deficiency, but usually I know the refinery wont repair or fix the issue. But I still make them aware in case a court matter comes my way, I can say see? I told ya so! Not sure if API inspectors are found on drilling rigs. Before the oil spill, it was rare to find one out there because most platforms or rigs were exempt. Since then, they introduced a new addendum into API 510 inspection on offshore platforms. From what I understand MMS (Minerals Management Services) has been run off? I know for the longest time they were 3rd arty who inspected platforms and such but I dont know if they still exist or not.

Chicago may have you beat. We put some special pixie dust in the gas so it's better on the environment, causing gas prices to be higher than anyplace else on the planet.

There's a BP gas station by my work in downtown Chicago that has to have one of the highest prices in all of the country. Like you said, Chicago is ridiculously more expensive than the majority of the country, but this particular gas station is always $.30+ above the average price in the city. They must really load up on the pixie dust
