Gas prices? (1 Viewer)

[Daywalker]

Can someone explain why I'm still paying $3.60/gallon here in SoCal?

I know taxes. But still does this add up with the price per barrel at 40-42?

I don't really worry about the price. I have to buy it regardless.

Because SoCal. Isn't a gallon of milk like $4 for you guys? How's that going?

I'm still trying to figure out how prices can vary by so much within a few miles.

Just like the weather, everyone complains about it but nobody does anything about it.

I do love it when people pile into cali then complain about its Well known warts.

Will your next thread be about how you can't get on the water for under 8 figures?

Ever notice how one supermarket might charge more for some item than another just a couple miles away?

That's how.

Didn't they shut down a couple of old refineries for refurb in CA? I think I read something about that - at least it is the excuse du jour

Because refiners are ####ing strangers in the ###.

In California, the statewide average for regular gas fell 14 cents the past week to $3.40 a gallon. Gas had spiked in California in May and June because of refinery outages there, but prices have fallen 46 cents in the past five weeks, as supply issues were resolved.

"Outages" while at the same time their profits are double what they usually are.

California refineries reaped an average of 49.3 cents on a gallon of gasoline from 1999 to 2014, according to the California Energy Commission. But this year, the average ballooned to 88.8 cents, triggered when refinery troubles in February disabled 7% of the state's capacity at a time of low inventories.

Take comfort in knowing it's one more thing keeping us poors out of your state.

Refineries limiting production when the forecast is lower oil prices is not something to complain about?

Funny the comment about refinery going down for maintenance or repairs. I work in a manufacturing environment, our machines go down we don't get to charge the customer more...we just get yelled at that we have a back order....

I paid $2.25/gal for regular in Northern VA. Can you imagine paying more for internet service because your provider got hacked? Glad I don't live on the left coast.
