I’m trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you’re still not grasping the issue.
I’m not comparing my price to any other state. Get that through your thick head.
I realize California has other issues. It has had those other issues for years. They didn’t suddenly happen to drive up the price now vs last year.
I’m addressing the price here and now to the prices a year or two ago when the price was the highest it has every been HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
As for the refineries here, they have been just like they are now for years. I will grant you one refinery did have problems, so that could be a part of the problem.
Others across the nation, are you seeing prices real low right now? Perhaps you are. I tend to doubt it.
Prices have risen after the dip earlier this year.
If I’m wrong and other places are still paying the lows seen in the Febrary/March range, it could indicate the refinery problem you mentioned (Thackney) makes more of an impact than I realized.
You can have your insults, and the information you receive with them.
You want to know what the problem is and refuse to take in the information explaining it.
A little over $3/gallon, but I buy no ethanol gas. That's about a buck per gallon less, and the way I drive that translates into about $100/month. When I am working steady (in the oil industry as a consultant) $100.00 is a small expense. When I am not, it is $100, if you catch my drift.
