Gasoline refiners in California gaming the system.

[Boreas]

Anyone who didn't know that virtually the entire pump price increase was going straight into the oil companies' bank accounts just hasn't been paying attention.

$4 for a gallon! That is crazy.

This may make it a little easier.

$3.83 this morning on base. When I am on the 15 now I coast down the big hills in the right lane going about 60 mph. I can coast for a grand total of 5 miles sometimes.

Makes the people going 80 mph in the right lane mad at me but those are usually the idiots that constantly weave across all lanes of traffic anyway.

They say that the reason gas is so high is that the Exxon Mobile refinery is at 20 percent capacity and it won't be fixed until Christmas because of pollution standards that have to be met with concordant state and federal inspections. We're screwed.

In everyone of those Western European countries you can travel just about anywhere you want easily by cheap efficient public transportation. Hell, you can even ride a bike in relative safety. Try that in the Good old USA.

Who can sit on a bike after the reaming the oil companies give you?
