Did they look into insane taxes and regulations?

[Yo-Yo]

“The Energy Commission has identified a number of possible causes that could explain the residual price increase in California, ranging from refinery outages to potentially market manipulation,”

None of the potential causes included higher taxes and California-specific summer blends?

[dowcaet]

Typical leftists. They constantly put the screws to the energy companies with excessive regulations and taxes, and then they complain when the costs get too high! Leftists destroy everything they touch, and they refuse to accept the responsibility that they’re the ones who are causing havoc!

How is it that this country has the largest energy resources and such high prices for gas and electric?? Maybe the deep state is trying to make Trump look bad.

[I am Richard Brandon]

Is it legal to post the price and the taxes on every pump. Inform the drivers.

[aimhigh]

Gas is $3.20 a gallon in Oregon.

[umgud]

And here we (the nation) are in a natural gas glut and CA utilities are thru the roof, all because our leaders force utilities to sell the more expensive wind or solar.

[eyeamok]

lets not forget the unbelievable smog regulation imposed on those diesel delivery trucks, and of course the California roads aren’t much better than most dirt roads in this country, thereby destroying those expensive trucks.

[know.your.why]

Stupid stupid stupid STOOOOPIIID question.

Tesoro, Chevron, and Exxon absolutely manipulate gasoline prices using illegal tactics.

Lived there. Seen it. Go there if you dont believe and experience it for yourself....along with all kinds of other crap.

[Lockbox]

How about companies pricing in potential liabilities from wacko Californian Government, Courts and Environments. Since there is no reasonable way to measure the liability companies most likely get as large a pool of funds to protect themselves from the unknown.

I call it the Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) effect!

[ASOC]

“Best price”on regular locally (Anchorage) is $3.29 at COSTCO.

The Muni added a $0.10 /gal tax last year- I see no difference in the road conditions locally....

[ßuddaßudd]

CA is corrupt and too arrogant to know ..

[Paladin2]

Boycott gasoline for a month or so.

[okie 54]

As far as I am concerned the prices certainly are not high enough. They need to tax the hell out of the people to pay for all of the free loading Mexicans

California drivers already pay more for gasoline than motorists in just about every other state.

[G Larry]

Are California Gasoline Prices STILL Being Manipulated?

Yes

[fella]

Duuuuuh.

[RevelationDavid]

naaa....

no way.....

ya think?

lol

[Mastador1]

Not just yes, but HELL YES!(there was a time when I could have answered with 'is the Pope Catholic', now I'm not even sure if bears shit in the woods) And they have been for decades, kind of hard to believe the state would actually ever investigate honestly when you realize the higher the price the higher the taxes.
