Way too many people do not understand how siphoning works.
I believe that is unlikely that thieves could ‘siphon’ gasoline from an underground storage tank in to a tank in their truck bed.
Siphoning is a process by which a fluid is moved from a higher elevation to a lower elevation through a tube by the actions of gravity and vacuum. This is a very simple principle which the average reporter should know.
Being that the gasoline is at a lower elevation in the underground tank a pump would be required to move the gasoline from the tank to the truck.
“Several service stations are charging more than $5 a gallon for regular gasoline.”
Five dollar gas will swing California to Romney!
Even in Texas I hear that gas is $5.00 a gallon!

reverse the rule forcing those 1,000 different blends
reverse the ethanol mandate
Those alone would do a lot of good
Let the Liberals pay the extra cost of the “ Special Blends “ of Gasoline, while us poo folk ( for those in Rio Linda, that’s poor people ) get the relief of cheaper gasoline.

That is pretty darn brazen, isn’t it? Very bold.
This is not a good sign.
Might give them a excuse to call out the national guards in California..
California will be the star domino in the administrations domino effect. They are already on the brink
Well, they supposedly have a license plate number...
I can’t imagine that just everybody buys 300 gallon tanks, either.
This is sad but I hope it is just some illegal aliens that have a pot farm in the woods and said F-it to the cost of fuel.
Holder’s people.
And they know it.
