Larry I think we talked about this before, California has the 2nd highest Total Gasoline tax in the nation, it is made up of 53 cents state tax and 18.4 cents federal for. A total of 71.4cents, in contrast Oklahoma gasoline tax total is 35.4 cents made up of 17 cents State and 18.4 cents Federal. In California's defense they have a lot of Super Highways that cost a lot of money to build and keep up.

I just filled up my truck and then took my wife's Acura MDX and filled it up. I use Reg Ethanol gas in my Truck and it was $3.23 a gallon. I use Non-Etanol  gas in my Wife's MDX and it was $3.49 a gallon. The stations here are having little price wars, I saw one station had Ethanol gas at $3.23 on credit card and $3.13 if paid cash. We have about as many Stations that have Ethanol gas as we have that have non-Etanol gas.

Received this email from a friend....

I ALWAYS check the first gallon before pumping more – simply to MATCH the PRICE (advertised) against the ONE gallon pumped into my car.

I "caught" a SHELL station (here in Mesa, Arizona) that had the price 12 cents per gallon HIGHER than the advertised price on the pump AND the sign out front.

I called the local Department of Agriculture (weights and measures division) from my cell phone immediately, waiting for them to show up. They did, some 20 minutes later.

The Department taped all the pumps, stopping ALL traffic from using the pumps. They (two men) checked all 6 pumps, finding them all "rigged" at a higher price (by 12 cents) per gallon than advertised.

PS – That particular SHELL station was being operated by 2 men from India.
