…in California.
Just what I need. Higher gas prices. This shit is out of control.
Refinery problems send California gas prices skyrocketing By Gary Richards
When Errol Emrich drove by a Shell station in his San Jose neighborhood last weekend, regular gas was selling for $4.05 a gallon.
On Monday, it was $4.15. On Tuesday, $4.25. And this weekend? Analysts say it could reach a whopping $4.40.
Problems at California refineries have slashed supplies across the state, cutting fuel production and raising wholesale prices — the price stations pay for their gasoline — by as much as 73 cents, to levels not seen since 2007.
And that almost certainly will boost prices at the pump again soon.
“California gasoline prices may surge in the next five days, perhaps to levels higher than February’s $4.33-a-gallon average,” said Patrick DeHaan, an analyst with Gasbuddy.com. “It is within the realm of possibility that average prices reach near $4.40 or even higher if the situation worsens.”
Bloomberg News reported that Exxon Mobil’s 150,000-barrel-a-day Torrance refinery lost power Monday and may suffer production problems for another week.
If Obama gets re-elected, $4.00/gallon gas will be remembered as “the good ol’ days”…
That’s not even close to funny.
And I agree.
With this guy in office, if I don’t laugh, I’ll cry.
I’m all out of tears.
It’s time for a change that puts America back in the driver’s seat.
I’m tired of sitting in the back of the world’s bus wondering where in the hell we’re going; and why all the left turns?
Well, you can tell from my gravatar where I think we need to be turning, and soon.
Romney wasn’t my first (or second, or third) option for President. But, he showed me a lot last night and the difference between him and Obama is more stark than night and day.
This is as close to life and death as we’ve ever seen in our lifetimes, and that statement is absent even the hint of hyperbole.
I’m the same way. He wasn’t my first, or second choice either. But, He’s a damn sight better than Obama ever will be.
And I agree with your avatar. Just turn right.
Amen, partner.
Keep up the solid work over here. I’ll keep checkin’ in…
