Diesel prices are falling.

[02stroker]

Fueled up tonight for $4.249. If it drops another 2 bucks it will be almost reasonable again. But I doubt it.

 

[MONSTERPLOW]

$4.39

We might get to the bottom of why our prices are higher up here in Alaska.

Gov. Sarah Palin and two state senators are asking for an investigation into why Alaska's gasoline prices are so much steeper than anywhere else in the nation.

They're asking Attorney General Talis Colberg to look into why Alaskans are paying about 75 cents a gallon more than the national average even though the state has one of the lowest gasoline taxes in the United States.

In a letter to Talis Monday, Anchorage Democratic Sens. Bill Wielchowski and Bettye Davis said they want to know if Alaskans are being gouged.

The letter says a year ago the gap between Alaska prices and national prices was just 13 cents a gallon.

Palin also has asked Colberg to look into gasoline prices.

The refineries might just have to answer Lower fuel prices along with the $1,200 energy relief we are getting here in Alaska and I might just make it through winter.
