State of Affairs - Gas Prices etc

Recommended Posts

Filled all of my tanks this morning at $2.38. Hoo-rah. That sure beats the $3.15 I was paying six weeks ago. What are some of the average prices around the country you guys are paying?

The season is slowly drawing to an end for us. Eight more PW'ing jobs booked and 2 call for estimates this week. It looks like I am going to be a little off for September but my YTD is up. I have to do a numbers analysis to see what is going on at the bottom line as I did have to increase marketing dollars a bit this past season. How is everyone doing when compared to previous years?

Not that you care, but just to show the differance, we are paying $3.02 American for an American gal. We were as high as $4.73. It's not unusal to see it change .36 gal same gas station,same day. If they did that to our beer all hell would break loose.

Alot of the difference in the price of gas through out the country is due to taxes we pay. Northeast states, California & other states are taxed higher. In Louisiana, we have a bunch of refineries (4-5 within 50 miles of me), yet we still pay more than alot of you guys in the midwest or elsewhere. The worst thing here is that fuel taxes are supposed to pay for roads, if you have ever driven in Louisiana, you would know that our roads absolutely suck.

I second that the roads in La. SUCK except for in Lake Charles where the Casino's must have paid for the nice roads :rolleyes:

Just drive up the street to the 401 & 427 junction and breakdown the house at the brewery!

It was hovering around $3.09 a few weeks ago but I've been paying b/n $2.50 & $2.65 this week.

Not to try and steal the thread but you're right, the roads do suck badly! Here's a picture of my grandma's road in N.O. East before Katrina.... it speaks for itself...
