We were paying $1.40 two weeks ago, so we are frustrated that it jumped so much in a short time, but it is due to the British Petrolium/AMOCO refinery that had a big fire late last month. It is the largest refinery on the Texas gulf coast, and the third largest refinery in the US, so they investigated for terrorism, but it was just an accident.

You people don't know you're born. Here in the UK fuel is about four times as expensive as yours!
About a dollar a litre... [/quote:af7244bb99]
Just curious, how much of that price is taxes? Out here it's roughly 50% last I heard (total federal,state and local taxes).
