Found premium for $4.029 today. Wished I had been in my truck to fill up there.

However in the car I was driving I averaged 37.4 mpg on the interstate.

 

pfft, $0.13/gallon increase is peanuts, that's only ~$2.30 more per tank in a taco. it's not uncommon for gas to jump $0.10/L overnight here ($0.38/gallon).

 

$4.75 today

 

it broke $5 for regular here

 

$4.44 on Wednesday.

Haven't looked since.

 

4.98 for regular here at a chevron... LA has a station thats charging 5.33 for regular

 

ok, but if the stations aren't resupplying due to the wholesale price jump, you're going to be hurting...

 

Haven't seen any lines except at Sam's/Costco.
Checked Gasbuddy and prices have jumped another $0.20 in the last 24 hours.
We're still under $5 out here in Chino though... the higher stations are around $4.75, Sam's is around $4.40

 

Yup.

All of those entries are from the same station except for the latest... needed a car wash and too tired to use the coin-op so I paid a nickle a gallon more than my regular station and got the touch-free.

I'll be gassing up again either tomorrow or Tuesday after work.

 

haha yea sucks.....

Who are "they"

and what do you want the government to do in this intervention?

 

One thing the government CAN do is provide a "tax holiday"

Federal tax $0.18
California tax $0.36
California sales tax $0.10+
California underground tank storage fee $0.02

There's 0.66... PER GALLON... that's going straight to the government.
$10 out of my fuel stop does not go to the station, refiner, or producers.

Sales tax used to be calculated differently, but in July 2010, the state fuel tax was doubled from $0.18 to $0.36, and the sales tax percentage was reduced by roughly the same amount... the state had been losing revenue due to falling prices so they moved part of the tax from the variable percentage to the fixed excise tax.

 

$1.21/litre so yankee stay home

 

I agree

 

well, ...now you're on to something

...looks like finally moonbeam is going to "allow" an early switch to "winter" fuel... of course, he makes an attempt to assuage the environmentalist whackos by saying it will have "negligible" effect on the environment

You guys are always preaching less government involvement , now you want the gov to fix this issue

 

which "you guys" are you referring to?... i'm just pointing out that kalifornia (by virtue of "its" gov't) puts itself into these ridiculous situations that are 10x worse than they'd be in most any other state...

 

The government is bought and paid for by big oil, they won't do anything about it
