[Kenneth Marcy]

Two items: 1) 24/7 Wall St. gas prices report, and 2) GasBuddy.com details.

1)  24/7 Wall St

*1. Missouri*
*> Price per gallon:* $2.86
*> Unemployment rate:* 7.2% (22nd highest)
*> Total state taxes:* 17.3 cents per gallon (5th lowest)
*> Number of refineries:* 0

Missouri has the lowest gas prices in the nation at just $2.86 per 
gallon. Yet, the state does not produce or refine any oil. Like several 
other states, Missouri is advantaged by its proximity to refineries in 
Louisiana and Texas, as well as to major points along the Keystone 
Pipeline. The Mississippi River is also used to transport oil and other 
products, and it connects the Gulf of Mexico and Louisiana with 
Missouri. Additionally, residents of Missouri pay some of the lowest gas 
taxes in the nation, totaling just 17.3 cents per gallon.
