pstan Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 It seems that since Biden ended the Keystone XL pipeline, the price of gasoline has increased 10 cents a gallon incrementally to almost $3.00/gallon. Two questions: When do you think it will end and is gasoline in PA taxed a set amount or a percentage of the total price? jaman, Paradox and Tiramisu 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyC Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Not sure of this. However i believe that we in PA. pay the highest amount of gas tax in the country. It supposed to help keep our roads really nice to drive on. What a joke that is. pstan and Paradox 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueangel Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Last time I checked pa. gas tax was 58.7 cents per gallon. Federal tax was 18.4 cents per gallon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petee Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Be prepared. Gas and oil prices are based on futures/speculation. I imagine that bidders are buying up oil stocks right now guessing that our domestic supply will be going down and we will have to buy it from other countries. I am urging hubby to fill our thousand gallon tank now. It will cut us short financially, but will allow us some time to get onto natural gas. We also have two wood burners. pstan and Tiramisu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At last check, the roads in Pennsylvania are no better than they were 60 years ago; but the tax rates keep going up under the guise of improved roads. Where are the improved roads?

Polo Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Just got a call from my oil supplier. The type of oil I need is going up 80 to 90 cents a gallon in the next few weeks.

Petee Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Wake up people! Fuel oil has gone up over 30 cents a gallon in the last month. Made an order just now when I called. This will cost us an additional $93 over what we would have paid a month ago. Check with your fuel providers before assuming it's not happening.

mr.d Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 AAA: Pennsylvania Gas Prices Rise as Oil Continues to Climb February 17, 2021 12:35 am· Author: exploreJefferson The average price of gasoline across Western Pennsylvania is four cents higher this week at $2.810 per gallon, according to AAA East Central’s Gas Price Report. This week’s average prices: Western Pennsylvania Average: $2.810 Average price during the week of February 8, 2021: $2.774 Average price during the week of February 18, 2020: $2.724 The average price of unleaded self-serve gasoline in various areas: $2.848 Altoona $2.813 Beaver $2.864 Bradford $2.849 Brookville $2.857 Butler $2.782 Clarion $2.836 DuBois $2.855 Erie $2.682 Greensburg $2.874 Indiana $2.748 Jeannette $2.873 Kittanning $2.499 Latrobe $2.855 Meadville $2.872 Mercer $2.641 New Castle $2.855 New Kensington $2.859 Oil City $2.819 Pittsburgh $2.799 Sharon $2.873 Uniontown $2.867 Warren $2.801 Washington Trend Analysis: Pump prices continue to move upward, despite low demand. This is the result of increasing oil prices, which settled at $59.47/barrel at the end of Friday’s formal trading session (West Texas Intermediate). Crude oil accounts for more than 50 cents of every dollar spent at the pump, and prices have been increasing since the beginning of the year. Today’s price for crude is about $4 less than last year’s most expensive price of $63.27/barrel (on January 6, 2020). Today’s national gas price average is $2.51. Nearly 40 state averages are already more than they were last year, with half of those averages seeing double-digit increases. Demand has averaged 7.7 million b/d since January. The last time it measured below 8 million b/d during the first six weeks of the year was 2001. Precisely how expensive gas will get this year is largely dependent on crude price and demand. The price of crude is still $10–$12/barrel lower than when the national average neared $3/gallon in 2018. Barring any outstanding or unforeseen circumstances, AAA believes that there would have to be a major spike in demand (returning to normal peak driving season levels) and sustained crude oil prices for gasoline prices to reach that high this year. Motorists can find current gas prices nationwide, statewide, and countywide at GasPrices.AAA.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedup Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 So they say 85 million voted for these idiots.

Petee Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 We did partially fill our 1000 gallon fuel oil tank, and it had gone up about 20 cents since earlier this winter. Once we can afford it, we will finish filling the tank. It's not going to go down till someone restores faith in our government and our ability to govern ourselves, We are now a liability to the world. I am desperately afraid for our soldiers and law enforcement forces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DES Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Everyone seems to forget when bush was in office we were paying 3.99 a gallon. The price of a barrel at 59 dollars we should only be paying 1.50 a gallon . It’s not dems it’s the oil men and now they’re blaming the freeze in the south Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
