You made an incorrect assumption. The pipeline doesn't continue on from =
Phoenix to Kingman. They get heir gas from different refineries.
I know the anti-war crowd thought the Iraq war was about oil. As you =
can see, it wasn't.
Now, here in Willcox our gas goes by us in the pipeline and then has to =
be trucked back from Tucson. As a result, we see higher prices than =
Tucson. Since I have two vehicles that get 12 to 14 MPG and two that =
get 22 MPG or so (not to mention the motorhome at about 6 to 8 MPG) I =
buy quite a bit of gas. I also drive 25,000 miles a year for business, =
so I don't really notice the additional for recreation. Fact is, gas is =
cheap in the US. In Europe they pay about the same per liter than we do =
per gallon.
You guys in Phoenix are lucky. many of you have dozens of caches within =
a relatively short drive. Here, the closest is 30 miles or so, and most =
are much farther.

Kingman is a couple hours north of Phoenix, and they have =
traditionally been 20 to 30 cents cheaper than us, all the time, so I =
can't understand the "pipeline distance" theory.=20
.and just where is the Iraqi oil? Where was the Kuwaiti oil they =
promised us, when we saved them the first time, back in 90?
