What are you paying for a gallon?

You are one of the " you's " , but I meant in general

 

So the rich dude's can fuel their V12 engines and speed boats with the average Joe's tax dollars? That's ridiculous.

 

Being that its the gov fault, yeah they should fix it.

 

the answer is in the article i posted a link to above,... it's in there if you read between the lines - for instance, i'd clue in on "air resources board" like i said before, kalifornia handicaps itself... maybe moonbeam waited a bit to poll-test the situation and clear the air w/ the enviro lobbies?...

 

How is it their fault ?

 

They require use of a special blend of gas which is currently low, which is why prices have skyrocketed.

 

Summer / winter blend ? That's not that unusual is it ?

 

i don't think anyone is claiming it's their fault directly... basically, they have a enviro-heavy bureacracy and stringent state regs on fuels, emissions, etc (i.e. you've probably heard of "kalifornia compliant" vehicles, etc.) - anyway, bureaucracies are better for "tempering" volatility in policy, but generally horribly slow and inflexible at reacting to crisis... i think that's basically the gist of it here...

 

ORLY

 

Your sarcasm detector is broken.

 

Having a shortage is.

 

We have a shitload of stock of winter blend available. The production/distribution problems are impacting the summer blend supplies.

Winter blend normally begins on November 1st, and it will literally take an act of the governor directly, or the CARB, to permit early release of those stockpiles.

 

Didn't Wiley post that had happened ?

 

Haven't had the news on today.
It had not happened as of last night when I opened my new bottle of JW Black.

And you didn't invite me? WTF

 

as i've said before, kalifornia's woes are self-inflicted, ...check out the explanation here: http://www.bizzyblog.com/2012/10/08/californias-gas-shortages-and-high-prices-are-government-driven/

...so, next month, kalifornia's self-imposed cap-n-trade goess into effect, which means fuel and energy prices will once again go up

 

i haven't used my truck in 3 days! paying for gas is hurting my a**...... anyone know if its going to drop back down soon?

 

Ya, I was hoping to go another 24 but shopping over the weekend put me at 320 by the time I got home.
I knew I could make 410, but don't care to push it. Ended up paying $4.68 compared to $4.43 last Wednesday and $4.14 the week before.

Total difference for 14 gallons: $7.56 more total, $3.50 more than Wednesday.

 

Filled up the tank this morning in Denver.
