Wow! Gasoline in Kansas is almost 20 cents cheaper than here in the St. Louis, Mo area...

Road trip?!?!...:-)

Gas is 3.75 here in lexington. I don't know why it isn't cheaper, since our energy costs are being provided by all that lovely coal coming out of (or rather, being shaved off of) the mountains around here.

Hey matt s do you have coal burners for cars in Lexington?

Do your power plants burn gasoline?

juandos, don't be a dick.

we use coal and natural gas for a lot of our energy needs, so petroleum-based energy is less necessary for things other than automobile fuel. As the local papers described it after we were found to be one of the biggest emitters of carbon, we're rolling in cheap dirty energy.

Also, I'd like to say something else, Juandos. You don't see me just guffawing and hooting every time you mention a conservative think tank or magazine. I think about what it says while weighing it against the biases I suspect they might have.
That is not what you seem to do. You are an example of how the anonymity of the internet lets people reinforce their own ideologies while putting down others from 1,000's of miles away.
Have you ever thought that Paul Krugman or the Nation might be right about something? Because I wanted to be sure, I started reading this and a couple other conservative blogs. Now I have a better understanding of economics from multiple angles.
If I wanted to have my intelligence insulted, I'd read my local paper's editorial section. It's just intellectually vacuous hot air from the right, left and center.

With the exception of the occasional Paul Krugman article ;)

Cheers.

i have two comments:

1. the cure for high prices is high prices

2. one of the problems with 'the cure' is that, to work, it has to depress economic activity. it has done that. another nail in the coffin of the u.s. economy.

> Click Me! Click Me!!

As I write this, there appears to be a station in Colquitt, GA with gas at $2.97/gal -- No idea if that is valid, a scam, or some weird error. I ain't drivin' there to find out.

> Have you ever thought that Paul Krugman or the Nation might be right about something?

matt, of course they might be. Even our own homefool sophist parrots the right thing once in a while. In either case, whether either is right because they have a clue, or because they just haven't been adequately misinformed by their incompetently chosen sources is another matter and beside the point:

It isn't a foregone conclusion that either is wrong, but, like the race going to the swift, or the battle to the strong, that's "damned sure the way to bet"...

juandos' point is still valid -- noting that coal is plentiful where you are, so gas should be low, too, is kind of like saying that the prices of apples in Florida should be very low because the price of oranges is quite low.

There's a reason they call it "comparing apples to oranges".

If you were being facetious, you need to indicate that better -- with a smirking smiley or something...

;oP


> 2. one of the problems with 'the cure' is that, to work, it has to depress economic activity. it has done that. another nail in the coffin of the u.s. economy.

bobbie, come on -- what part of "no recession yet" have you not understood so far? What part of intrade's odds on a recession in '08 plummetting have you not grasped? What part of the fact that the current unemployment stats are still below the average for the Clinton Admin are you not understanding?

There is a massive difference between having to tighten your belts a bit, plus not being able to throw money away without concern, and actually having a sucky economy. Stop listening to the MSMs -- they're not only depressing, stupid, and positively not right -- "they aren't even wrong".


TV Announcer: Today, more on the current RECESSION...
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

matt s says: "we use coal and natural gas for a lot of our energy needs, so petroleum-based energy is less necessary for things other than automobile fuel"...

Well then matt s, what was the point of saying this? "Gas is 3.75 here in lexington. I don't know why it isn't cheaper, since our energy costs are being provided by all that lovely coal coming out of (or rather, being shaved off of) the mountains around here"...

matt s then whines:"Also, I'd like to say something else, Juandos. You don't see me just guffawing and hooting every time you mention a conservative think tank or magazine"...

Well it could be due to the fact that maybe just maybe (though I personally doubt a lib like you could make that leap) what conservative think tanks I reference actually always have the pending question in the background, 'who's going to pay for it?'...

On the other hand that pathological liar and all around libtard Krugman will make some sort of typically inane noise about what's needed and never asks that question...

Sadly for you matt s as obh notes, you are always are guilty of this: There's a reason they call it "comparing apples to oranges"...
