then again, look what the rest of the developed world gets....great 
public transit, great other stuff, great gas mileage (esp with diesel, 
its a LOT higher quality than crappy #2)....anyway....yeah, its BS on 
someones part that the gsa is so expensive.

I don't get how a price increase of a few cents a barrel can end up 
being several cents per gallon....that defies logic to me...
