I am a coos bay resident & I have friends in Coquille & Myrtle Point which I visited today Gas is 2.05 & has gone up about 10 cents in the last week over here but over in Coquille it's 1.85 & my friends say it has staye the same for over a week. I think the government needs to do another investigation into the gas companies in Oregon.

ONCE AGAIN MY POST WAS NOT POSTED. THE TRUTH MUST REALLY HURT. OIL IS ONLY $45.95 A BARREL RIGHT NOW SO WHY HIGHER PRICE. CORPORATE GREED OF COURSE. AS LONG AS THEY GET RICH THEY DON'T CARE WE SPEND ABOUT 25% OF OUR INCOME ON GAS AND THE REST OF OUR BILLS SUFFER. FOR SOME PEOPLE IT IS MORE THEN 25%. THEN YOU HAVE TO DECIDE TO FEED YOUR FAMILY OR PAY YOUR BILLS. AS LONG AS THEIR FAMILIES HOLD ON TO THE SILVER SPOONS THEY HAVE THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE AVERAGE AMERICAN. MAYBE WE SHOULD GO BACK TO HORSES. AT LEAST YOU CAN SELL THE MANURE.

I live inland, in the area of the Idaho panhandle and Western Montana. Our gas here is 1.41 a gallon, and with the cash discount its 1.31 a gallon.
We are usually a nickle higher then the larger towns around us, and are told are higher due to the cost of trucking it in. So if it isnt trucked hundreds of miles, why the higher cost compared to other Pacific NW areas???

Who ever wrote this story left out a huge piece of information the price of a barrel of oil is falling. The oil companies keep telling us supply and demand. Demand has dropped and no disruption to supply but the price continues to rise. Our state's Attorny General couldn't find any collusion going on remember he devoted over a year looking into the matter. I think it just dosn't fit the politcal agenda of getting us out of our cars in Oregon.

So why is Coos Bay prices so high? The rich are getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Someone needs to stop the price gouging here in Coos Bay. It's not fair! Specially since you can drive 20 miles north or south and find it between 10-30 cents cheaper. What gives?
