Don't know if you can read this picture from my facebook but .. I'm pretty frustrated about how much our gas costs in the greater Lufkin/Angelina County area. It's about a quarter a gallon more than in Tyler TX. I made some twitter posts about that and I got some feedback on my facebook feed (don't know if you can read that to the left).
Buck eighty-nine in North Texas and a buck fifty-nine in Oklahoma. Edie says it's high in the Chicagoland area but don't we Texans expect that? Sorry Edie.. I guess growing up in Texas where we have active oil drilling platforms around us.. where I grew up there were oil pump stations in all the pastures around my home(Galveston County). We should have cheaper gas in Texas right? I remember a few years ago working in New Jersey for a week and the gas was a dime cheaper than Lufkin and they pumped it for me too. Go figure...
I know when I drive to Conroe that the price of gas in Riverside is always 10 cents, 20 cents, 25 cents cheaper than Lufkin.
I have no idea how many gallons of gas get sold in Lufkin each day...I tried to find it but no luck.. but just imagine that you could sell something 12% higher than others around you over and over and over again..day in and day out.
Cha ching...

Don't you think that the prices are set the way they are here in the "Texas Forest Country" so as to make a little profit? Oops, there is that dirty word again.
"Profit, Profit, Profit"
Profit is important for me to have a job.. If ___Ex doesn't make a profit then I don't have a job.
So are you saying that gasoline sales outlets in Tyler, north Texas and Oklahoma are charitable orgainization.. not for profit that is... operate under a 501c3?
There is a board game I love to play that is named for the situation I feel we are in here in east texas regarding gasoline sales..
