Wow! $2.84 in Columbia this morning. $2.95 in Jefferson City.

Why is Jefferson City's gas always more expensive?

3blindmice 2 years, 3 months ago

because gas in Jefferson City is special gas. It all comes from the same source but they give us extra special gas hence the usual extra 10 cents a gallon

Think about how many extra dime-a-gallons JC folks pay to the local cartel. Wonder what that would translate into for other local merchants, not to mention the additional sales taxes paid to local governments?.

$2.84 in Eldon too!

The same jimmy carter that required better fuel ecomy in cars way back in the 70's. The same ecomy that caused gas prices to fall in the early 80's due to the smaller cars being produced and less demand for fuel. Which, henceforth, brought down the soviet union. I should note ron tossed out all the fuel requirements when he took office.

what is not funny is how much money we have given to saudia arabia since fuel economy went the way of the SUV. 30 years on and we still havn't reached same fuel economy standards set forth under carter. Think of all the terrorism we are funding with that extra money flowing to the sauds

That's precisely why we need to open up drilling all over the US including ANWAR. Paying good money to terrorists when we have oil right here at home is plain stupid.

You're completely wrong on facts and conclusions, but the tools of greed usually are.

Yes, Carter's administration blew a military operation, that would've failed anyway because we had propped up the Shaw to the point that a revolution was the only option, and one we could not stop. Yes, we gave BACK the panama canal to the people we took it from. Reagan softly spoke a false pride, while his VP, the director of the CIA, broke congressional mandates and arranged the Contra crud. I was there, I saw the rank sublimation of our constitution by corporate lies and greed by the Bush dynasty, which still festers today. I'm not comparing Obama to Reagan, our present Prez is far smarter and sits atop, not under, an honest administration. OMG! How cute!

JCLifer 2 years, 3 months ago

Uh, WE BUILT the Panama Canal, so it belonged to US.

3blindmice 2 years, 3 months ago

oh I stand corrected Reagan said "tear down that wall" and so it fell. or that is what they tought us in school. I will ignore what yegor gaidar from the institute for economies in moscow has to say about it. Or vladimir mau, director of russia's academy of national economy, who both point to the price of oil as its downfall.

I've read my post and seem to have trouble seeing me saying anything about the USSR or your other Reagan military buildup stuff, which he did indeed do. And yes, we outspent the Soviets and built Al Qaida. And, as 3blindmice points out, energy prices and supply issues did contribute to the Soviet fall, along with their political failings. And Palin? No emotion, but I'm contributing to her campaign.

To live in Jefferson city where education and intelligence means so little. I have given you some sources to start from if you wish to investigate a little more about the economics of oil. I had the fortune of living out of the capital city and have lived overseas in Moscow for just a little over 4 years. I do have a little bit more understanding than what Faux news would have us all believe. Education doesn't end in school. on another note this snow reminds me of moscow other than than there the people are not afraid to walk or drive through it.
