All extra money generated from smokes, alcohol, gambling and gas are supposed to go to into those funds. And they do, but then they take out the money originally marked for it and put it into the general fund. Then they can give that out to anyone else they want. Education and roads will never get more than what they are slated in the budget. And the public does not care enough and allows it. |

And building a new refinery is all but impossible in the current regulatory environment.

That, and the energy companies can and have just expanded existing refineries to deal with demand. The ROI also sucks even if they could build new.

Are the markets even factoring in a potential deal with Iran yet? If one gets worked out, that adds hundreds of thousands of barrels into the worldwide supply per day!

Perhaps a little, but I wouldn't say very much yet.

Sure, I'd say you're safe. As long as I don't make a few phone calls.

It would. Stop thinking of gas prices as a local thing, and start thinking of it as a global thing. The worldwide oil market is probably the largest, most complex market of any commodity or item in the world. But it is WORLDWIDE, and highly integrated. We're pretty much at the point now where supertankers heading for, say, London, get re-routed to New York mid-trip because a computer somewhere says so. That's an oversimplification to some degree, but the market is highly integrated.
