$5.39 a gal. in CA.

What bullshit! And some turd I just saw bitching because he couldn't get more than $100.00 w/o driving to another station because most stations have $100 limit. Get a smart car whiner!

5. $3.54 in CO.

I feel all guilty about it now.

6. I'm in Colorado too - only cost me $29.65 totally fill up my car yesterday (was basically on empty) ... what's amazing to me is how gas prices can be exceptionally high in one state or city and "reasonable" (as in less costly) elsewhere.

I graduated high school in 1973 - that summer there was gas rationing and there were huge lines at gas stations here in Denver that really didn't hit the rest of the country until much later in the year. One of the excuses used was about how costly it was to transport oil and gas to Colorado since we were far from the coast. I thought at the time and have continued to think back on that year - it was almost as though Denver was a test to see if the oil companies could cause wide spread panic, hysteria, hardship (whatever you want to call it) in order to get what they wanted. What did they want in Colorado in 1973? Oil shale ... well they got their oil shale tentacles/businesses in Colorado at that time which created an economic boom here for a time - until that industry totally bombed due to the high cost for producing oil from oil shale and a lowering of oil prices.

I don't know - I'm old and the mind does funny things as time passes by (and 39 years is a long time to pass by) but this thought/memory/observation stayed with me for awhile. And if it was so costly to transport oil and gas to Colorado why didn't prices stay among the highest in the nation - forever?

9. Los Angeles was built on top of an oil field -- but it is dry now

There is still some minor production in CA, but most crude is imported. There aren't crude pipelines over the Rockies.

CA hasn't exactly been encouraging investments in shipping terminals, pipelines and refineries.

CA has unique gasoline formulations that are only produced there and which are more expensive to produce.

7. Here's what's going on in CA

Gas in on the rise due to refinery & pipeline problems plaguing California.

Here's the facts;

*Aug. 6 fire at a Chevron Refinery cut production
*Exxon Mobil Corp. Refinery had power troubles
*Chevron pipeline that moves crude to Northern California also was shut down
*CA summer blend of cleaner-burning gasoline during hot summer months.
*Clean air regulations in CA

Oil production is at a 15 year high in the US!
Crude oil imports are at a 15 year low!

BUT the Repukes have been saying that it's all Obama's fault!!! He's against oil.
They've started chanting Drill, baby, drill again... seriously???
What part of the President doesn't control gas prices don't you ****wads understand???
What part of oil production is at a 15 year high don't you understand?

And I like to remind them that in June 2008, Gas prices were $4.63 a gallon!!! But, that must of been Obama's fault too.

Retroactively.

^^of course it's retroactive, just as the primitives blamed George Bush for the War of 1812 and somesuch.

<<has primitive brain inside head right at the moment.

12. wait till there is no gas which is coming

and people will be rationed or in lines

Stealing gas is on its way

I had an experience with not being able to get gas and it is not pretty

During Katrina many gas stations were just empty

during the Hurricane Ike we were without electricity for a week and pumps didn't work or gas stations were empty

California could next be calling for a state of emergency

we had security guards to make sure no jumping the line

If you can I would leave California

13. I experienced a ration of that crap in the 70's.

Then out came the big gassers.

California makes the gas cost more, so blame it on liberals.  Liberal moonbat , BIRM, states always have higher taxes and different standards for pollution causing special formulations to be needed.  Refineries aren't going to meet those standards for every state because of costs.

When something happens to those refineries providing moonbat gas the price goes way up.  The good news is that tax revenues from that gas also goes up.  Be patriotic DUmmies, pay the higher price , do your duty and STFU.

[jukin]

The kalifornia average is always 40 cents more that the national average because of our state gas taxes.

As to oil production DUchebag, under 0bama oil produced on federal land has gone down 20%. The only reason that oil production is up is because of the private sector. The privates sector received NOTHING. Nothing other than scorn, illegal moratoriums,  illegal blocking of pipe lines, and bureaucratic roadblocks from the 0bma regime and still delivered. Now how did a certain energy sector do with 100 billion of our dollars? Hint, bankrupt. I guess that is just more proof that of how super scary smart president Wile B. Obama is.

Drill baby, drill

I think it's great! I hope the entire state of California runs out of their boutique moonbat blend gasoline and shuts down.

Then we'd start reading bouncies about DUmmies dying because of no fuel to get to the hospital.

Just tell them to get there with wind and solar.

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

We should declare war on California and install a military governor.

Last time California had energy problems, didn't they blame other states and companies for their own shortsightedness?

Yeah, they blamed Enron, then recalled their governor.
