In 59, refineries were very archaic. I paid 29 cents a gallon at Mobil in 1972. I dont think you can compare business models from 59, with 2004.
Premium has in the last 4 weeks, gone from 1.79 to 250 in So. California. There is no rational reason for this!!

Actually, there are a number of rational reasons :) From OPEC, to refinerery capacity, to additive problems, increased consumption. Could be worse. Were you around for the energy crisis in the 70s?

I suppose it depends on your point of view: Whether you are buying or selling.

That 29 cents is about a clam-65 now.
