Up $.36 here in Marysville, Yuba County. How the inability of Southern California refineries to EXPORT gas to Phoenix means I need to pay more eludes me, but the folks on the news wouldn't just blandly report that assertion as fact if it weren't true, would they?

Pisses me off to no end as well. The oil companies lie. The pipe is broken so oil that is being refined 15 miles from my house can't be sent to Arizona, so it stays here. Therefore, because we can't ship the oil out of state and have to sell it to you instead, we need to charge you more. All of us have to do that. Even the oil companies who don't have a major presence in Arizona.
