Illinois always used to have gas prices 10 cents higher than Fl, Ky, Tn, Ga, and Alabama, but since the first leg of the Keystone pipeline was completed to Illinois, the Illinois and Indiana refineries are pricing their gas below what we found in any of the other states.....it is crazy because Illinois has a much higher tax on gas.
If we would increase the gas tax by 10 cents right now, and set up a 10 year raise of 2 cents a year additional tax, we could ifx our roads, bridges, and infrastructure and start feeding the Middle Class jobs and opportunity. It would also still give incentive for Americans to purchase fuel efficient vehicles.

I do not understand why the proponents of the second leg are not pointing to the success of the first leg. Almost five years no oil spills and what I have read two or three cents a gallon reduction in pricing......a home run for Illinois. I have heard the argument that once the second leg is complete the midwest refineries will not get as much oil and the prices will increase, but I call bull chit. The pipeline is good on so many levels.
Just had a pipeline leak in eastern Montana...where my daughter lives. This is the 2nd leak into the Yellowstone River in recent history...50,000 gallons and they can't clean it up because the pipeline runs under the river and everything is ice above. The city of Glendive is trucking in water for the community. Now just think how nasty it would be if this had been the extremely toxic and corrosive product from the Alberta tar sands. Again, the "leg" of the Keystone project known as XL has NO BENEFIT to the United States...and we would be accepting ALL THE RISK.

I wonder why it's going up there.

Darn good question. I assumed since it spiked up here it was doing it nationwide. But if it's not then there's something really peculiar about gasoline prices. And by peculiar I mean most likely crooked. Like most things it probably aint what we're told it is.
