How much of that is due to the difference in state taxes?
We pay almost 80 cents a gallon in tax here.
#1 in the country.
Im sure it doesnt affect the cost at all.
Some of that "almost 80 cents a gallon" is federal excise tax that applies to all states.
And Pennsylvania state gas tax is higher, but the pump price is about 80 cents per gallon lower.
We have the highest gas taxes in the country.
It doesnt affect the cost at all.
We also have a state mandated program of formulating special seasonal recipes that doesn't drive the cost up either.
When you put your pouty voice on it is hard to tell whether you are being serious.
This map is a year old. With the recent (July 1) increase in California tax by the gallon, we edged ahead of Pennsylvania again, but not 80 cents per gallon ahead. How much do you think the special low-pollution mix adds to the cost in California?

He wants California at Arkansas prices. I guess he could move to Blythe and buy gas in Arizona.When you put your pouty voice on it is hard to tell whether you are being serious.

President Trump is holding a rally in North Carolina tonight.
During his speech President Trump told the crowd he ran into a businessman recently who does not like him.
President Trump: I don’t like him. Never liked him… I saw him and said, “How you doing?” And I said to him, “You know, you don’t like me and I don’t like you but you’re going to support me because you are a rich guy. And if you don’t support me you’re going to be so goddam poor you’re not going to believe it.”

Union Bosses Are Going Ballistic Over Trump’s Court Victory Curbing Government Union Power
Posted at 9:00 pm on July 17, 2019 by LaborUnionReport
Government union bosses have been seething ever since Trump issued executive orders limiting their power in the federal workplace. Now, they’re madder than ever.
On Tuesday, more than a year after President Trump issued three executive orders to curb government union power and save taxpayer money, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit reversed a lower court’s ruling last year striking the executive orders down.
One of the main goals of the executive orders has been to curtail the use of tax dollars to conduct union business, which the Office of Personnel Management estimated, cost taxpayers $174 million in 2016.
Additionally, as the Washington Post summarized last year:
“They require agencies to negotiate union contracts in less than a year. And they direct managers to move more aggressively to fire poor performers or employees involved in misconduct, limiting to one month a last-chance grace period for improvement that now can last up to 120 days. Agencies must also disclose details about an employee’s record to other federal offices considering hiring someone who has been fired or disciplined.” [Emphasis added.]
Not surprisingly, more than a dozen unions filed a lawsuit in district court challenging the orders.
Ironically, when polled on whether they support the administration’s efforts to make it easier to fire people, a slight majority of federal civilian employees polled last year supported the executive orders,
In Tuesday’s ruling, a three-judge panel ruled unanimously that the lower court lacked jurisdiction over the matter, reported the Washington Post, as “unions must first pursue such claims through an administrative process before seeking review by the appeals court.”
Now, the issue should go before the Federal Labor Relations Authority, which is, as the Post reports, “a small agency governed by a three-member board of Trump appointees charged with adjudicating federal labor disputes.”
However, the unions may appeal the Tuesday’s ruling on jurisdiction to the Supreme Court first.
Needless to say, union bosses are apoplectic.
“Today’s terrible decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia is a tremendous blow to federal employees and their voice in the workplace,” stated American Federation of Government Employees National President J. David Cox Sr.
“The decision is mistaken about the jurisdictional question, wrong on the law, and jeopardizes the rights of federal employees across the government,” Cox continued, “We will fight this decision using every legal tool available to us.”
On Tuesday afternoon, AFL-CIO boss Richard Trumka joined the chorus of condemnation on social media.

Democrats Admit to CNN’s Tapper: ‘The President Won This One’ — ‘Squad’ Hurting the Party

“The president won this one,” said an unnamed Democrat politician of President Donald Trump’s “showdown” with the Democrat “Squad” of Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Rashia Tlaib (D-MI), according to claims made by CNN’s Jake Tapper on Wednesday.
Trump’s implicit criticisms of Omar — describing the Somali immigrant-turned-politician as an America-hating antisemite — triggered a broad partisan Democrat coalescence around her and other “Justice Democrats” in the aforementioned squad. High unfavorability ratings among Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Pressley, and Tlaib amounted to a political win for Trump, according to Tapper’s claims.
Trump also highlighted Ocasio-Cortez’s support for blocking a now-defunct Amazon proposal to build headquarters in New York City, NY.
Tapper took to Twitter to make his claims about discussions with four Democrat politicians he says spoke with him on condition of anonymity

Watch: RNC Hammers ‘Radical’ Socialism of ‘The Squad’ in Video

In a video released on Wednesday, the Republican National Committee (RNC) went on offense against members of the so-called “The Squad,” which includes Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA).
One aspect of the advertisement tied the rhetoric from those four members to an attack on an ICE facility in Tacoma, WA and noted “The Squad” refused to condemn the attack.
In an interview with Huntsville, AL radio’s WVNN on Wednesday, RNC national spokeswoman Elizabeth Harrington explained the inspiration for the video, which she was to emphasize the how this foursome she called “radical socialists” represents the modern Democratic Party.
“I think it is clear,” Harrington said on “The Jeff Poor Show.” “Just look today in the House. They’re voting for impeachment, impeachment resolution. ‘The Squad’ comes out for impeachment. Then there goes the House of Representatives. I think it is important to point out just how radical these members are and how big of a voice they have in the Democratic Party. The ad we’re putting out is just showing their own words of these radical socialists in the House of what they’ve said about our brave men and women on the border who are protecting this country.”
“They’ve compared us to running concentration camps and the Holocaust. They’ve smeared our immigration force. And now, Ayanna Pressley comes out and says, ‘If you don’t agree with us, we’re going to bring the fire.’ And then, meanwhile – ANTIFA, and ANTIFA member tries to do just that – attacks an ICE facility and then members of ‘The Squad’ refuse to condemn it. So, I think the rhetoric on their end is very dangerous. Their ideologies, their policies are very dangerous. And we’re going to continue to point that out in the contrast because we do not want to become a socialist country.”

Watch: Trump Rally Chants ‘Send Her Back’ After President Slams Ilhan Omar
Trump Supporters Chant 'Send Her Back' at Mention of Ilhan Omar

2:04
Attendees of President Donald Trump’s rally in Greenville, North Carolina, chanted “send her back” after the president slammed Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) repeated criticism of the United States on Wednesday evening.
“Omar has a history of launching vicious screeds,” the president said to chants of “send her back.”
Prior to the chants, President Trump listed off various critical statements that Omar previously said about the country, including her trivialization of the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks.
“She smeared U.S. service members involved in Black Hawk Down. In other words, she slandered the brave Americans who were trying to keep peace in Solomila,” President Trump said.
“Omar minimized the September 11th attacks on our homeland, saying “some people did something,” the president recalled.
“I don’t think,” he determined.
President Trump then ripped into Omar for her lenient stance on attempted ISIS recruits and mocking the threat of Al-Qaeda.
“She pleaded for compassion for ISIS recruits attempting to join the terrorist organization,” the president said, before noting how the far-left lawmaker downplayed the significance of Al-Qaeda. “Omar laughed that Americans speak of Al-Qaeda in a menacing tone and remarked that, ‘You don’t say American with this intensity.'”
The president also criticized Omar’s fellow “Squad” members Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).
President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are campaigning at East Carolina University’s Williams Arena hours after the House voted 332-95 to table a resolution to bring articles of impeachment against the president. The failed measure was introduced by Rep. Al Green (D-TX).

Judge Says SDNY Has Ended Trump Campaign Finance Probe, Orders Michael Cohen Records Unsealed
July 17th, 2019
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 06: Michael Cohen, the former personal attorney to President Donald Trump, speaks to the media before departing his Manhattan apartment for prison on May 06, 2019 in New York City.

A federal judge Wednesday confirmed federal prosecutors in New York City ended their investigation into Trump campaign finance violations, which focused on former Trump attorney Michael Cohen and the Trump Organization.
Judge William Pauley confirmed the end of the probe in an order to release the remaining files in the case against Michael Cohen, the former Trump attorney who is serving a three-year prison term for several crimes.
The end of the investigation indicates that no additional Trump Organization executives — a group that includes Donald Trump Jr. — will be charged in the investigation, which was led by attorneys in U.S. attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York (SDNY).
CNN reported earlier in July that prosecutors were winding down their investigation and were planning not to charge anyone else in the investigation.

Trump Speaks On Allegations That Ilhan Omar Married Her Brother
July 18th, 2019
President Donald Trump (Fox News Screenshot: July 17, 2019)
President Donald Trump said that there’s “a lot of talk” that Rep. Ilhan Omar may have married her own brother on Wednesday, but added that he knows “nothing” about the allegation.
This is the first time the president has commented publicly on accusations that Omar, a member of the freshman Democrat “squad,” may have been involved in a fraudulent marriage in order to game the immigration system.
Prompted by a reporter’s question about the situation as he departed the White House, Trump said, “There’s a lot of talk about the fact that she was married to her brother. I know nothing about it.”
He added, “I don’t know, but I’m sure that somebody would be looking at that.”
