    The price goes up, the price goes down, the price stays the same. It is what it is, use it or do without. Simple choice.

    Not to be political, but my understanding from a few years back was that the pipeline was to get oil down to the coast where it would be put on tankers and shipped overseas. My mistake,
    the pipeline was to replace oil imported from Venezuela with oil imported from Canada. But imported all the same.

    The real cost of gasoline has dropped significantly over the past 50 years. Inflation makes a dollar in 1970 about the same as $7 today. That means $0.40/gal in 1970 is about the same as $2.50 today. Factor in the increased mpg of cars today compared to 1970, or something like 30 mpg vs 10 mpg, and the real cost of gasoline is about 1/3 what it was in 1970. Do we really have room to complain?

    Plus, the more foreign oil we use today the more of ours will still be in the ground when the foreign supply runs out, which it will some day.

    All true. But, I think in current dollars, just like I think most do. I think if you ask someone if they would rather pay $2.50 a gal for gas or $2.00, what would they say?

    When I say current, just to be clear, I mean currently in your wallet, whether paper or plastic.

    Same over here in Chillicothe area Steve. We have a farmers market on the west side of town that is always ten or fifteen cents cheaper and if in that area I will fuel up there. $2.49 has some folks complaining, but it was $2.89 here before the plague hit so I'm still saving 40¢.
