Even though we keep hearing about how much oil is being pumped up in North Dakota and such it is always the market price that effects the gas station prices. That and those damned Egyptians and fear of shutting the Suez Canal where the tankers go through for Saudi Arabia and the Med.
All that North Dakota oil is being exported and we are paying the price for it. When you own a truck, and need to, and have a 32 gallon tank $ .30 is an extra $9.60 on top of all ready high gas prices. And I can't deduct my gas, so I can bitch about it...Good thing I don't smoke or drink......much.....
