A lot of people are asking why the gas prices are so high. It just doesn't make any sense to me. Us poor folk just can't afford $3.19 per gallon.

I promise I'm not going to complain anymore. First it's about the crazy house prices, and now it's about the gas prices. Gas here has been higher than anywhere else in Washington for some time. Most families have a minimum of two cars, and I know for us it's close to $100.00 to fill both cars. I really do like living here, but I have to be able to afford to live here. I know that there are other people that can't afford the gas prices, and that can't afford to buy a house. In a lot of families the wife and husband work full time, and they still can't afford to buy a house here. Wash. -- New numbers from AAA of Washington said Bellingham continues to have the highest average gas prices in the state. It was $3.19 for a gallon a gas Friday, reported KIRO 7 Eyewitness News. The Bellingham price is 19 cents more a gallon than what is being charged for gas in Bremerton -- $3. The Seattle-area’s prices are right in the middle at $3.11 a gallon. “We can drive down to Seattle and on an average it's probably 10 cents a gallon cheaper,” said Bellingham resident Nick Leary. The county executive wants the state to investigate why residents are paying so much for gas when there are two big refineries in the county. Because there are two refineries, a lot of people are wondering why our gas prices are so high. Anyone ever been to Ohio? Some towns in Ohio are on the lowest price housing list, and I'm guessing they pay less for gas. Gosh you guys, I'm sorry for complaining so much, but the fact is that it's just not affordable for many people that live here. No more negative posts. Everyone have a good day :)
