An unidentified person pumps gas at a station in downtown Los Angeles, Monday, Feb. 23, 2004, as two unexpected refinery shutdowns caused a sharp run-up in wholesale markets. The California gasoline market is notoriously volatile, analysts say, because strict clean-air rules require a steady flow of specially formulated gasoline that cannot be quickly imported from other states. :eek:

Yeah, the $2.26 a gallon I paid to fill up this morning hurt. Gotta love paying more for less octane. :down:

Bummer!

Did I say that loud enough?

The one thing I don't get, is the gasoline in the ground has been paid for at delivery. So, any "price increase" that may apply, applies to the gasoline in the next delivery. But gee whiz, those pump prices jump up fast. Wonder what happen to the funds generated in the lag between notice and delivery?

Grounds for criminal charges? Ya think?

Did you see the pic of the gas station in Mojave? The prices were mid to upper $2 range.

Keep in mind, no matter what the price is, the station owner makes only a few cents a gallon.

Even still, at these prices, it's still a lot cheaper than Europe, GB, or Asian countries.

Wow! I didn't notice prices that high last time I filled up. They must have shot up a lot in a short time!

Prices are shooting up here in Sacramento also. I'm over $2/gal for 91 (our version of premium) at Costco, usually the best price in town.

If I could get some decent gas around here I wouldn't care what it cost. :(
