What location?
It was at the AM PM on Ramon near Outdoor Resorts Palm Springs but I noticed today the Valero was cheaper just down the road.

So by 2016 we may see oil start back up. sounds like a plan, in the interim the US will be bringing out more and better cars and trucks that are electric, diesel and NG. This is all good.

So, are we allowing monopolies to run the prices up and down to control our buying decisions? I'd rather have a fair shot at an electric (or hydrogen) car that I can fillup however I please.

I have been reading this thread for years now and folks never seem to learn. Electricity for your little pricy electric car is not cheap at an average of .14 per KWH. That electricity has to be generated by hydro, coal, or natural gas fired plants. Each has their particular "environmental cost".
Some thirty-five years ago, I did a graduate level research study at Eastern Washington University on alternative energy resources. This included the imploded Washington Public Power Supply System (WHOPPSS) and why the project failed resulting in the largest ever municipal bond default. We are still paying for that one and now a lot of monies to the tribes for lost fishing opportunities.
You folks seem to always be looking at the small short-term issues instead of looking at the big picture over a very substantial period of time. The big picture must also include demographic changes, economic conditions, transportation issues, and comparative and realistic environmental consequences.
A few very well thought out comparative and balanced narratives would probably be refreshing. just remember, this is not my first rodeo and I can see past all the smoke and BS.

Dick your info is dated. The current rate in Michigan for electric for the electric car is $0.07695 per kwh. This is the rate for electric cars.
My pricy car was leased at $179 a month, not so pricy. They doubled that rate last year because of the demand for the lease.
I,for one, will return to the electric when either Tesla or GM bring out a lower priced one with more range. Granted these are not main stream yet but will be soon as the mpg for car makers increases.
