California's Summer Gas Is Approaching $4.00/gal
9 April 18 | hapnHAL

As California's Summer Gas Is Approaching $4.00/gal what can we expect from President Trump and changes to onerous EPA regulations? Part of gasoline’s price increase is largely seasonal, as refiners tend to process less crude oil into fuel during maintenance and are starting to transition to summer-grade gasoline, which is more expensive to make. According to analysts prices will likely climb further as the weather warms and driving picks up. We need to get gas prices under control in order to MAGA.

It’s $2.25 per gallon around here, in Texas. Californians are just doing this to themselves. At some point, enough of them are going to understand it’s their own fault. It’s up to them to change their own state government.

$4 per gallon was the breaking point back in the ‘07 financial crisis.

The US auto fleet averages ~5 mpg more than during the FC. It is approximately 25 mpg today. The gas spike was a double whammy for people that had a reduction in pay and/or had ARM mortgages. Gas prices actually started pushing ~$4 during 2011-2014. It wasn't that big of a deal, because people had their cash flow issues worked out.

It has been rising here in Alabama also. Was near $2.00 for a long time. It has now climbed to $2.40 around here and continues to inch up. Every time something happens in the Soviet Union, Red China or even North Korea, it jumps up gas prices. Let something happen in the Middle East and the gas prices go nuts.

It would be Brown’s campaign slogan IF he was honest ... buy he’s not and he wasn’t and he’s not capable of being...

below from 2011 when Brown started the process of sealing California’s doom:

“California Gov. Jerry Brown signed the state’s Dream Act into law Saturday, clearing the way for illegal immigrants to receive state financial aid to attend California universities and community colleges.

The law gives illegal immigrants in California more education benefits than in any other state.”

I live in central Illinois. Most of the time there is a 40 cent difference in price between 87 octane and 93 octane. When I go to the Chicago area the spread is much larger. Anytime I am up that way, I just do a splash and go if I need gas.

I was out in LA last December and noticed a similar price spread as Chicago.

Stop letting g Californis Politicians play petroleum enginears on TV. Two reasons gas prices are so high in California, one, the democrats design the gas to a custom blend that is more expensive and teo the Democrats tax the hell out of it.

One reason California has turned into fools gold.
Fools and Democrats, but I repeat myself.
