Gas Prices... WTF!!!

[RUFFLZ]

reason why prices went up.

1. Chevron refinery in nor cal burns down a month ago
2. Chevron crud oil pipeline on central cal leaks and gets shut down
3. Exxon Mobil refinery in Torrance ( like 3 miles from my place ) has an explosion monday and was shut down.
4. Election bullshit

I'd like to add, I work at a chevron gas station.
current prices as of tonight
87- $4.67
89- $4.75
91- $4.83
D- $4.43

We went up 20cents just today... $5.00 will hit tomorrow night if not by sunday.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk no. However I do get to find out a few hours b4 it goes up. Cost me 37bux to top off my car last night and I had more than a 1/4 tank.

Posted in another thread; Why don't y'all just STFU and read the bottom of my sig. Quit your bitchin!

[whodwho]

Low MPG is fine that is our choice :) High $PG just sucks...

There is a damn Torrance refinery fire at least once a year!!

[QUKBMER]

I just drive by and do a at the prices and bitch :hitler: then pay and pump gas and keep on drivin :up:.

Man I thought I was trippin. I noticed that today too. Fuck I think I might pull my chip out and run it stock again. 91 is too expensive.

Lol I did the exact same thing, along with ditching the 3.73 diff!

Really guys?!

An extra $6-$8 per tank is going to make or break you?

It adds up mannn, especially when you blow through your tank in a couple days :/

Paid $4.07 for 93 octane in Chicago this morning.

The more I spend on gas, the more I get to surf because I typically don't want to spend any more money than I have to. It's a good trade off for me.

simple, when supply goes down, prices go up. we import most of our oil now, therefore we must compete with up and coming emerging countries like china and india who are becoming more industrial.

Really, guess what China's economic growth has slowed 10% and oil per barrel dropped yesterday 5% per a barrel.

+1
But I also get gas on base, so it's a bit cheaper than off base.

Base takes the average of 10 stations within 5 miles of the gate and averages them and that is how the price is determined.

more reason to drive a chipped eta! jk hahaha

91 Octane prices in my town
Arco: $4.59
Chevron: $4.80
Other Chevron down the street: $4.85

In Lancaster, add like 10 cents to what the cost are from my place

yezz its fukin nuts but what can you do!

But yet, the Canadian Pipeline and other sources of oil are blocked by the administration... Secret agenda to force ppl to drive eco friendly cars? I think so.

exactly right, its their green agenda.

We're sandbagging yo. Let them run out then we got all that's left.

we haven't even hit "peak" reserve yet. we won't be running out of oil for a very long while.

Really, guess what China's economic growth has slowed 10% and oil per barrel dropped yesterday 5% per a barrel.

china and india have been growing, this is known. because we stopped producing most of our oil here, we must get it over seas, this increases the price. doesn't matter if their growth has slowed, they still need a lot to power what they have. additionally, each state has their own tax rate on their gasoline, and california is one of the highest taxed states which is why if you head down to the east, gas is still in the low $3.

5. Prius owners (buy less gas so to make up differance they jack prices up on gas)

but usually gas prices go down towards the election

usually. but this administration wants everyone to go green. the whole agenda is to pretty much force everyone to start buying green cars or start using our shit public transportation system.
