Bootsie Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 2 hours ago, Quill said: Oh, it was a split photo, showing a very high fuel price on one sign and a very low fuel price on the other. The explanation was that outrageous price was “Democrat-run state”, while the low price one was “Republican-run state.” I’m never good with naming fallacies but it was the “Dems = high gas price; GOP = low” thing. Oh, false equivalency maybe. Is that it? I am not in California, but it is my understanding that the recent gas tax increase in the state was a major issue in the recent congressional election.

Liz CA Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I must be in the most expensive part of CA with a $3.50 average. Has anyone from the LA area chimed in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 $1.88, Central Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogger Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 About $2.99 a gallon. It is a Republican state but amazingly Alaska does not refine it's own oil, so it is shipped out of state and then refined and shipped back. 😕 State taxes are $0.08 per gallon so it's not that.

KungFuPanda Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Around $2.50 between D.C. and Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 NEPA. $2.60ish. The station across town is about 10 cents cheaper, but I always forget. Gas is lower going over the border into NJ, and they pump, but I never time my tank right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frogger Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 11 hours ago, Arctic Mama said: That and a few blue state anomalies were what I was thinking of - the tax issue is correlated but it’s not an absolute truism. The legislature has looked into a refinery, as has APSC, but the numbers just don’t make sense. It would either lose money for the owners or cost the taxpayer more than the shipped fee, even to bush Alaska, because transport to remote areas would STILL be an issue. Siiigh. Being rural or low population density has costs, especially for infrastructure and utilities, including oil and gas. That’s true in the lower 48 too. Your high mountain rural gas station is usually going to cost more than the one on the edge of the suburb in a given region. Which would make the meme pointless since the Republican versus Democrat lines tend to coorelate with the urban versus rural areas of the US. Although, once again Alaska is backwards with the rural being Democrat. Another point is that rural districts usually get more Federal tax money for the roads they drive on. I will add the caveat though that urban people use those roads when traveling and of course when their food is being brought to them, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
