Last month in England, the first time I topped off the tank on the BSA I
was riding, my credit card got whacked for $43.00. Gas is $8.50 a
gallon there (actually about 90p per liter).
It's interesting to ask people (when they talk about gas prices being so
high) "Well, what SHOULD the price of a gallon of gas be?"
Nobody knows the answer to that question. What's the cost of production
at the wells? What's the cost of refining and storage? What's the cost
of distribution and retailing? What's the cost of environmental
remediation?
Maybe the REAL cost of gasoline is $9.00 a gallon and we're just getting
a huge temporary bargain. I don't know and I'd like to hear from
someone who thinks they do. There's more to it than "Big Oil is just
ripping us off." How do we know they're not giving us a great deal and
if we exposed it, the price would triple?
