Has anybody heard the news about a new refinery being built in South Dakota?

Also it looks like those bums in washington might finally ease up some on new drilling for oil.

If anyone is interested (as I am), the link below is a government web page with a LOT of numerical info.

http://www.eia.doe.gov/

So, while we're on the topic, I've been looking for good data sites with estimates of how much we have in different locations and how much other countries have.  The site above has quite a bit; but if anyone knows any really good links, feel free to post.

Just plug in your zip code and it tells you which gas stations have  the cheapest prices (and the highest) on gas in your zip code area.  It's updated every evening.

People keep talking about 85 octane gas?? The lowest I can buy is 87.

85 octane gas is an ethonal blend of approximately 10%.  Then there is the E85 which is a minimum of 70% up to 85% ethonal.

All of the gas where I am (in So. NH) is 10% ethanol.  Over the border in MA, it is also all 10% ethanol.  I hadn't seen 85 Octane before.  However, while living in TX (hope to move back one of these days), there were gas stations where the Premium only had an octane level of 91 (I guess because out in west Texas, flat straight roads - you didn't need higher octane due to no citiy type driving, etc.).

By the way, I heard on the news this am that gas prices should be down to about $3.50 or $3.60 by Labor Day.  Sounds terrible for price to go DOWN to that level.

Just back from vacation, caught the news up in Toledo, gas prices for that day low of $3.56 high of $4.14 and from what I could figure these appeared to be on the same side of town.
