DOOM- ON!!! DIESEL OFFICIALLY HIT $6.00 in Cali... Watch nation come to screeching halt!

Can't even answer a question. Einstein is being proven wrong on many points these days, you might want to change that moniker.

Profit margin for whom? Farmer makes about $1.00/gallon according to the people I know who run dairies and according to most market research. Now...different farmers have different qualities of milk and some may receive a little more or a little less.

Since the average gallon of milk here is about $2.75 / gallon that leaves $1.75 per gallon. So...split that between the producer who pasteurizes/homogonizes and adds or removes products to the milk, the delivery company if separate, the wholesale marketer who buys large milk purchases and then sells to smaller stores, and to the actual stores who carry the milk for you to buy. That's not a lot of profit. I know from experience, a good milk producing cow costs about $3,500.00 a year to maintain. That doesn't include the costs it takes to run a dairy, pass inspections, pay for water, pay for cleaning, pay for milking machines, etc.

In reality...nobody's making a lot of money here. Thanks for letting me prove that. Oh...and btw, if you're dumb enough to pay $4.00 or more per gallon because of the specific retail chain you buy from...that's your own fault.

the re-election of Barak Obama will mark the dawning
of the Socialist Spring for america -- and the American Dream
will finally be realized for all its people.

ewwww...you just went from cute to downright ugly. You like Obama...and you're calling me the socialist? What an ironic idiocy.

LOL You are a fucking Communist!

Stop moaning? What a Pratt you turned out to be.
First up, converting your Liters (the French metric system you were FORCED to adopt) should be done into U.S. gallons not the quite a bit larger Imperial gallon as was standard in the UK when I was a lad.
Please try to understand that the UK is TINY!
A lot of people in the USA 'HAVE' to drive 75-100 miles round trip every day to go to work and back, their are no viable bus or train alternatives outside of major cities and a lot of people need to move tools and materials, you can not get on a bus with 1000lbs of lumber to build a barn on a distant mountain!
In the USA, to survive, you need your own wheels.
England is about the same size as Americas smallest state,Vermont.
It takes about 2 days to drive across Texas on highway 10 if you stop to sleep and eat,(I'm sure many truckers do it faster
but for regular people it is quite a voyage).
Try to understand that moving a truck load of Veggies 1000 miles can not be done in a Mini Cooper.
3 or 4 England's would fit inside the State of Texas alone.
When all is aid and done,we pay as much of our income,or more,
by necessity, than the Brits,or Europeans, it is not a choice if you want to eat and have a roof over your head.

no. i'm a Socialist. and i'm educated enough to know the difference.

These are the people who think meat is born in plastic wrap all ready for their fry pan and have no idea that french fries were once potatoes that were grown in a field.

Oh, you're educated? By whom? The Commies that convinced you that you are a socialist?

I knew you wouldn't answer honestly so I will.

Profit margin on a gallon of milk is around 39%

Profit margin on a gallon of water can be anywhere from 50% up to 200% depending on the brand you buy.

Profit margin on a gallon of regular gasoline is around 7%

I buy gas from Kroger and with current prices and my discount its $2.85/gallon.

Thanks for the pin...
I'm all for profits...!!!

This is ridiculous however.

There is no "sudden" cost to the producers, suppliers, distributors, sellers, etc... This is price gouging. Plain and simple...

And having drove a Peterbilt for 10 years before I went back to a easier job... I am still very well tied into the industry.

There is NO WAY, NONE to make a living with fuel at $6.00/ gallon.

And to the goober who attacked me...

Guys in Africa cut holes in oil pipelines, scoop up the crude and place it in a drum... they then heat this drum until the crude boils, etc, etc... Read about it here...:

Point being, Diesel is EASY TO MAKE!

Anybody notice how Romney said he wants both north american energy independence AND a larger military?

If you have one, you don't need the other. Which candidate would support this right answer? none of them. not now. not in the last 50 years, and not never

... we need a second american revolution from our European overlords. 10 years of freedom, and then the Chinese can legally enslave us via the debt.

well, it's pretty obvious that yer just a run-of-mill
retarded right-wing republican.

saw diesel @ a shell in irvine this morning for 6.35$


glad i don't own my TDI anymore

DIESEL TRACTORS GET 5-10 MILES A GAL... FOOD..WELL?

Ford fusion hybrid is starting to look good. 47/45 mpg..

the last president to institute wage and price controls
was a right-wing capitalist lackey named Richard Nixon.

ive converted my chevvy to run on compressed air...i get 200 miles on a tank that costs me about 50c to fill up...aint life grand

Stop fear mongering. Some places in California always have high prices. When I lived in La Jolla in 2010 gas was always $5/gal for Primium. It's still $5/gal. The price there never changes, but you can drive few miles to Pacific Beach and get normal Cali prices. La Jolla just has rich people that don't want to leave the village with their million dollar sports cars.

8th

The profit margin on the gay fiendly liberal companies like Google, Intel, Facebook, etc have much higher profit margins than oil companies...so why trash oil companies you commie bastards.

Diesel in California has been more expensive than regular gas ever since the whole sulfur content bullshit. Now we have to get a special mix of fuel for both diesel and regular gas that no one in the nation uses. The funny thing is, all the crude oil flows to California to be refined and sold to other states. So there is no shortage per-say, just the shortage of the special California fuel. If the state doesn't do something about this and still doesn't allow selling regular fuel in California to meet demand, it's going to be a disaster.

They voted for this so I don't understand.

This is what the voters in California wanted.

They just passed energy bills that caused this mess.

The USA is a corporation not a country. You are owned and rounded up like sheep. Wake up FFS!

Hey jackass, Americans aren't doing anything to the rest of the world.

American GOVERNMENT is doing things to the rest of the world.

How about American GOVERNMENT paying for what they're doing, instead of the American PEOPLE??

...

So, the nations is going to come to a screeching halt over $6 a gallon fuel?


What has Europe been doing all these years with upwards of $12 a gallon gas?

Food Trucks ----> Grocery Store

Driving around in super fuel efficent cars, going round and round inside their postage stamp sized arena.

the whole gas thing,
nothing but

but I still like it
stick it to the cali fruitcakes
