what is with the diffrence in gas prices in the UP?

Around here it is between 3.65 and 3.72 per gallon for regular. I drove the Studebaker Cruiser to South Bend couple of weeks ago and saw gas prices go through the roof (even further than they already were) while up there for a week. The cheapest was in Wytheville, VA. On the way up it was 3.11 nine days later on the way back the same station was 3.35. We were told up there that the problem was a broken pipe line. I just don't get it. You're making billions in profit, yet you raise the price when they have breakdown, that capital upkeep along the way could have prevented. I just don't get it......

They know they can gouge us, so they do. You drive 100 miles in any direction and gas is cheaper, just like the rest of the country. Not only do we have high gas prices here, we are almost always the highest in Michigan. We rival most of California with our prices here, and the city only has 26k people in it and at least 15 gas stations. They say transportation costs make it more expensive, but if you drive to L'anse or Barraga which are about 60 miles north of here gas is usually 50 cents cheaper.

Here is an article about the owner of one chain deriding the local tribe for wanting to put a station in Marquette. The tribes dont pay some taxes so the gas is almost always cheaper, but they also dont gouge anyone, so they make for more realistic prices. The natives wont be bullied by the other guys, so they dont want them to screw up their little fiefdom and ability to set the prices wherever they want. This asshat called the natives liars, tax cheats and crooks, his stations have been empty for weeks. There is a huge cry coming from the station owners to not let the indians have a station here, and the rest of us think its about time they do.

The day that pipeline broke gas jumped 50 cents here. The very same day, not a couple days later, not after the trucks showed up to refill the tanks, as soon as it was on the TV the prices went up.

corn
Corn prices surged to a new record high Tuesday, as the worst drought in more than 50 years continues to plague more than half the country.

Almost 90% of the United States' corn crops are in drought ravaged areas, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and nearly 40% are situated in the hardest hit spots.

Corn prices have soared more than 50% during the past six weeks as the crops continue to shrivel in relentless dry heat throughout the Midwest. They jumped another 0.7% Tuesday to a record high of $8.20 per bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade.

3.81 a gallon as of this morning...... I really distrust any item that changes pricing so quickly. it just seems wrong.

$3.80-85 for 87 octane here in the Binghamton NY area. The price ha been above $3 per gallon for so long it almost feels normal.

The average price in the last months of the Bush White House in Dec. 08 was $1.68= OH those were the days!!!!!!!!!!
