Panhead> FYI being in proximity to a tank farm doesn't neccessarily correlate with cheap gas. There are 2 tank farms on the pipeline, less than 15 minutes from my house and a half dozen more within 100 miles or so. Plus we have dozens of ethanol plants right here in central Illinois. We still have some of the highest gas prices in the state. Most of the fuel is purchased on futures rather than day to day commodity prices. Another problem with the prices is the refineries and oil companies only allocate so much poduct per day for their customers. The fuel station willing to pay the highest price, usually gets more allocation.
Anyway, I'm going to stop there before I get myself all worked up on how we are getting boned by big oil.
