I though all Kalifornians drove those political correct little electric clown cars?

Wish this was nationwide.

We can't. Our electricity rates are already astronomical and the Enviroweenies won't allow us to build new power plants or transmission lines even if we wanted the overpriced little electric jitneys.

Isn't it an odd coincidence that this gas shortage is happening just before the election in a normally all-Blue state? I wonder how the Sahara Clubbers will get to work and to their beloved exclusive wilderness areas?

We have enough to get our planned vehicles to the bugout regardless of their fuel state when ‘realization’ sets in.

If this goes the wrong way, it could be the trigger for a full-scale economic collapse.

Lots of conflicting signals in this economy. We’re vacationing in HI, currently on Oahu. We took a tour yesterday & our guide was telling us how busy October has been for the locals - a month when things usually quiet down. He figured if it was this busy in the ‘slow’ month, all h*ll will break out when they’re busy season starts around November/December vacations.

BTW, gas here is around $4.50/gal.

What’s the problem? Just drive on down to the Algae station.

California cars are special. They have very sensitive engines that will only accept a diet of special blends not available elsewhere. So the prices may seem high but this is gourmet gasoline, freshly squeezed from the finest oils.

Californians may find it inconvenient not being able to use the gasoline others do but they’re willing for others to make the sacrifice. Welcome to California!

"I can get gas, but it’s going to cost me $4.90 a gallon, and I can’t sell it here for $5,"

Can someone explain this? Is there a state cap on gasoline prices? Why can't the guy price it at whatever he needs to make his profit? Somebody is going to buy it, people gotta drive....

What fedgov should do is declare a War on Gasoline. In no time there would be an oversupply of hi-octane gasoline at an affordable price and available to everyone who wants it.

If we didn't have state-mandated special requirements for our gasoline here, I'm quite sure that supplies from neighboring states would be pouring in to alleviate (and make a profit from) the current shortage.

As things stand, "foreign" gasoline (i.e. from other states) doesn't meet the California requirements to be sold here.

I was in LA last week and noticed gas lines before the weekend. I attributed it to the 405 shutdown, Carmaggedon. But maybe it was the beginning of the shortage ...

This is DEFINITELY an opening for Romney in CA.

All he has to see is that he WILL NOT allow spot shortages there...since that is due to their blend requirements. Not to mention all else he can do for energy.

Come on Romney, make the Prez spend a couple of bucks to hold that state.
