Soooo, Has everyone figured out that we will not see cheaper gas unless we leave the country?
We now have not one but Two, pipeline proposals in the works. One from that big puddle in the Northern part of the US and southern Canada, to the coast through Canada. And another one going south to the Gulf of Mexico.
Looks like they plan on rewarding the Drill Baby Drill crowd, by EXPORTING more of our Natural Resources off the Continent.
Anybody wanna put some money on which way fuel prices will go?
I think we've been had. AGAIN.

Don't bother coming to The Great White North for cheaper diesel prices. I fueled up yesterday, tank wasn't quite empty but it sucked up $150.00 of diesel before shutting off. At least it was full! Diesel here is $4.86/U.S. gallon!  Apparently we have the second largest oil reserves in the world, you would think that would equate to cheaper fuel prices but apparently not!

If you "leave the country" you're far more likely to see HIGHER fuel prices, not lower. You'll notice the US is #101 on the list of the most expensive retail gasoline prices, ranked by country, with #1 being the most expensive and #141 being the cheapest -
List
Most of the countries under the U.S. in price actively subsidize the cost of gas in their countries via tax subsidies. Of course, that placates the public and buys votes, but it's enormously expensive and builds dependency, waste, and a sense of entitlement. Try weaning a public used to below-market-value gasoline off of subsidies, and you have the recipe for a violent reaction.

How much of that is 'tax' to build and maintain the roads?
Tax seems to be a large portion of our fuel prices here in Colorado..., Not *****ing about the tax, because I like smooth roads, you understand.
That way, whoever uses the roads gets to pay for them...... well that's the concept anyway.
