Business analysts have admitted that most of the peak prices were caused by speculators driving up the futures prices. Yet the environmental extremists immediately tell us this is the way it will be forever. The same speculators who broke mortgages; the same speculators who gave us the tech bust in the 90’s. All trying to get something for nothing. ---

I’ve found that real DC gas is about ten cents higher than any in Northern VA. Didn’t realize or remember that MD gas was that much cheaper in your area. ---

I don’t know what you guys are doing over there, but send some of it to the west. You all have the cheapest gas in the metro, right now. I just paid $1.89 in Leavenworth County, up from $1.83 on Saturday. ---

Gas is usually priced to meet the average income of the area. Moe expensive areas like Great Falls and Potomac, are priced higher than Laurel. Yes, the oil companies are that sophisticated. ---

Gas prices around the Rochester, NY metro area have varied by as much as 50 cents per gallon lately. A month ago I drove to Syracuse for a conference and gas was $2.75/gallon while in the Rochester area it was still $3.29/gal! Right now, the cheapest price I have seen is $2.359/gal. There are still several stations charging $2.60+ though. ---

It’s still hurricane season. Regardless of oil supply, if the refineries needed to close for any length of time, gasoline supply would suffer and prices would rise. ---

This discussion is not needed to get the information. Look at [GasBuddy.com](http://GasBuddy.com) This is a very useful place to save money on gas both locally and when planning a long trip. Do your local town, or look at the Gas Temperature Map to plan a trip. [http://www.gasbuddy.com/gb\_gastemperaturemap.aspx](http://www.gasbuddy.com/gb_gastemperaturemap.aspx) ---
