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!

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 fuckwads 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.

17. Republicans know Obama has a hot tub time machine.

8. Hugo Chavez will have to save us!

Wonder what the price is at 76 the Venezuelan owned, I think, gas station

11. If your vehicle can't get anywhere on $100, it is time to return the Shuttle to NASA

[lovuian]

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

[lonestarnot]

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

Then out came the big gassers.

[Zalatix]

18. If it comes to that, there'll be nowhere to run.

Rationing in California will spread worldwide.

Speaking as a Californian: we're THAT far away from rationing that whatever it would take to get there, would affect global supplies.

[Posteritatis]

14. Wow, first time I've seen US gas prices tied with the local ones.

Well, more or less - local prices are $5.45US/gal right now.

[maveric56]

15. It was $4.80 last night in Chula Vista, CA.
