Quoting: dr.einstein What does it feel like to be an idiot? Without profit you don't have wages and salaries you moron! Well...50% profit pays all that...500% profit is just obsurd. Where are you getting those numbers? The CA governemnt gets $0.33 on the gallon. Pure profit! And the CA governemnt does absolutely NOTHING to explore for it, extract it, refine it, ship and distribute it. The average profit the actual gas company makes? Around $0.04 to $0.08 on the gallon. Who is gouging who here? Learn the truth before you make yourself look like an idiot. |

That's a LOT of time for trucking companies to feel the pain of hauling all those cargo containers full of stuff from the ports. I'd say the cost will definitely get transferred to the consumers. |

We're going to fill up our freezer with meat tonight, been planning this for a couple of months now and saving up for it. I hope that we beat the price gouging that I know will come. At least we'll be good for winter once that is done. I feel as if I live in a 3rd world country where the economy is so unstable you don't know what is going to happen with prices from one minute to the next. It's getting shittier in Cali! |

dr.einstein User ID: 24857213 United States 10/05/2012 02:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | why isn't the price of gasoline pegged to the value of oil at the well-head, and let's let's be done with all of this periodic and regular price-gouging by the fuel distributors. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 17851333 United States 10/05/2012 02:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why don't we see F.E.M.A. oil tankers heading in to California with much needed fuel? This is an emergency and I can't believe the government has let it come to this ! I also feel the government should get into refining oil. At least a few strategic locations throughout N.A. Quoting: Black Diamond 20028740 Anything the government touches costs MORE, they are the least efficient means of doing anything. Less regulation is what is needed in this instance. The summer gasoline is strangling us and there is a waiver request in front of the "state", but they just can't figure out if we should keep getting gouged at the pump or if they will let us use winter gas earlier. Of course, those bastards don't feel it if gas goes up a dollar, they have enough disposable income not to notice a good assraping that a minimum wage worker would. |

That's how close people are to starvation. If for any reason fuel is no longer flowing 95% of people in north america will be dead in a year. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24941964 Hmmmm! Good point! I guess if the oil companies put the price of fuel through the roof,right before the election, Obama will be finished. If that is what it takes to get the Liberals to go away it is alright with me. Not like I think Romney will be much better, (I'm a Ron Paul supporter). But it is a good point you make.

P54 User ID: 24881052 United States 10/05/2012 02:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.californiagasprices.com] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1275523 Diesel SHOULD be cheaper. It is less refined than Gasoline. You can take crude oil... heat it and Diesel will "come out" of the sludge all on it's own. Watch the truckers who keep this nation in motion stop dead in their tracks. I know supply and demand... but no deliveries will make fuel even more expensive. No word yet... from any media... but $6.00/ Gallon for Diesel means truckers will have to pay extra money for the privilege of delivering fuel and good. As in they will actually pay out of pocket for each mile versus make money for each mile. Also, understand that loads often have pre-negotiated pricing. Added fuel costs aren't figured in that price. Norway, the third largest oil exporter in the world according to a study Bloomberg did this past summer among 60 countries sell gas for more than 10 US dollar per US gallon. Politicians want to double it. Meanwhile in Venezuela it sells for 9 cents a gallon. A few years back when gas/diesel was high in USA I was trucking and 14 days of every month I spent driving just to pay for expenses. |

This is another example of the oil companies holding the public hostage. If a few refineries are knocked out we are toast. As future president Romney stated N.A. energy independence. The oil companies are not to be trusted. California got screwed over by the Bush Administration and we had rolling black outs. It was the first terrorist attack before the big one : 9-11-2001. |

First of all...you'e buying gas company issued statements on who gets what. The state is supposed to use that tax on roads, police, safety, etc. That's fine, that's where it should go (even though it probably doesn't which is the real problem). The gas company and the profit you've quoted is total fabrication. A gas station makes about that much...sometimes as high as 20 cents a gallon. However...the gas COMPANY, like Chevron, Mobile, etc., all posted profits in the 100's of billions. You're going to tell me that's not GOOD ENOUGH? Are you going to tell me that's not close to 500%? Here's the deal. The main people getting rich are two groups. The middle eastern families that own the oil and those people that own the gas companies. The families are eating gold they're so rich, and the gas company owners own extreme amounts of property and industry. So...you're okay with takin it up the ass so that some sultan can have gold thread sheets? YOU'RE THE IDIOT. You're okay with taking it up the ass so that a gas company exec can get a 1,000,000 bonus? YOU'RE THE IDIOT. |
