Gas is cheaper in Charleston because we are a gas dump from the ships. I
like to take those buying Exxon or Shell down to the Hess Oil storage place
to show them all the different oil company trucks lined up at 4AM to put
the same Hess gas in all the tanks...at higher prices, of course...

Then, as Seattle is the "dump" point for all the Alaskan crude, we
should have the same thing here... Instead, the sign right outside my
window still says $2.79 this morning

Problem is that you get Alaskan "crude". Charleston gets refined product

I thought all the Alaska crude went to Tokyo and Osaka and Hong Kong where
they'll pay much higher prices for it than America will.

There is a regular milk run from Alaska to Cherry Point, Washington.
These tankers often que up at Port Angeles waiting their turn to proceed
in to offload. Same old boats time after time.

I thought most of the crude actually ends up in refineries in
California. My understanding was that Alaska was the largest source of
crude for the Martinez refinery complex and several others along the
left coast.

But I might be wrong.

Could be. There are some big pipelines running out of Cherry Point and
Anacortes.

I hate to break this to you. I live in Alaska. The crude is tankered
down to you guys, refined and tankered back up here. I saw it for
$2.1599 at one of the Fred Meyers yesterday. Meaning with my fuel
discount it's costing me $2.0599. Yep, I just filled up.

I used to be mobile cal lab manager for EIL Instruments, one of
Maryland's beltway bandits, and drove from their office in Va Beach
across to as far as the Mexican border calibrating CG, FAA and Navy
remotely situated test equipments at little bases, FAA VORTACs and Loran
C sites all over. (Try calibrating a scope while your cal lab is sitting
BETWEEN the capacitor hat and ground system of a multimegawatt 100Khz
Loran C pulse transmitter, some time.)

On one trip, some payback for voting the wrong way resulted in fuel being
made in Eastern Texas was allocated away from there to their pet states,
leaving poor Texans working AT the refineries with NO GAS at the 7-
Elevens!

I sat at a La Quinta Motor Inn in Beaumont, staring longingly at FOUR oil
refineries running full blast, trying to explain to my ****ed off boss
that the van's saddle tanks were EMPTY and this oil refining city had NO
GAS FOR SALE until Monday Morning at 9AM! We were gonna be late getting
to the CG Station in Brownsville, still half a world away across TEXAS!
Of course, my boss blamed me. Everything was my fault....(c;

Alaska needs to get in the refining business, then tell America what it
wants for gas and diesel...(c;....instead of just giving crude away until
it's gone.

My understanding is that won't happen. As part of the agreement to
drill the north slope, no refineries would be allowed in Alaska. That
won't change because the environmental movement would never allow it.

I'll bet Russia would be amenable to building refineries in Siberia, just
across the straights...
