[Vision2020] Gas prices

[Tom Hansen]

One interesting resource I found concerning gas prices is:

 

http://www.gasbuddy.com/

 

>From that website you can compare gas prices from Bangor, Maine to San
Ysidro, California - from Cape Lisburne, Alaska to Key West, Florida.

 

Take care, Moscow.

Subject: [Vision2020] Gas prices

 

Not everyone has taken advantage of Katrina as a reason to gouge the public
with higher gas prices.  I took off from Moscow on Thursday morning just as
the prices started to rise here in Moscow.  I knew I was going to pay a lot
extra at the pumps, but I had planned this trip for awhile and didn't want
to miss out getting together with the kids.  While I was enjoying my visit
in Beaverton, OR I was keeping a wary eye on the gas stations. . . . but a
funny thing happened.  The prices weren't going up.  I kept hearing news on
TV that gas was going up everywhere around the country.  When the time came
for my return to Moscow on Monday, I found a station near the freeway and
went to gas up.  I had a choice. . . one station was 2.69 (very busy) and
the other was 2.71 (no line at all).  Being the impatient type, I splurged
and paid the higher price. . . knowing I wasn't going to find it that cheap
along the way.  Curious, I asked how come the price was so much lower in the
Portland area. . . and what was I told?  Why raise the price when that's the
same gas that was in the ground before Katrina hit the Gulf.

 

Between Portland and Moscow prices were as high as 3.49.
