gas hit over 9 dollars in CA at this station

Holy shit....That's crazy.

Probably an oops. Premium is usually about 20 cents higher in price than regular but premium is cheaper here by $5.01. I'm guessing it was probably supposed to be $4.69 based on usual price schemes for gasoline.

76 is a Unocal brand that is owned by Conoco Phillips who merged with Chevron in 2005. It's a "branded" station so probably is not affected by the shortage. And just a note, Chevron, Shell and Texaco all run under the same blanket through joint venture and merger as well. Just a fun fact that most people didn't know because, well, they made sure to be very quiet about it. I know I was told to shhhh.

FAAUUUUUKK!

and 5 stars!

Hopefully, a glp'er in that area can confirm or deny.

That is fucked up... talk about gouging...

People need to sue those assholes...

How the fuck can you charge almost 10! a gallon for low grade and less than 5$ a gallon for higher grades...

When you can substitute the higher grades for the lower grades... Which is what most fueling stations are doing during the low grade shortage.


I would sue the hell out of those assholes...

Jimmy Carter's revenge

Oh one more thing to point out it being an oopsy. The price of the surrounding stations aren't comparable to the $9.90 price but more comparable to a $4.69 price. Stations local to each other compete in pricing pretty viciously as people will get gas elsewhere for just a penny difference.

You can't sue someone for listing a price Moran. Bunch of sue happy idiots. What are you 12?

Nobody can read either or note that the price was put in by an brand new account on the California gas prices website this evening. Somebody probably thought that they were being really freaking funny but I really feel sorry for the person who owns and operates that station. I hope to god they aren't a private owner and it's just a company store because that's just cruel to do.

Do your homework before you rage:

Thinking it's more likely someone deliberately trying to cause a panic than an oops at this point. funny thing is, I wonder if the owner can sue...hmmm.

the same station has premium for 5 bucks

but its not in demand. There is a shortage of 87 octane

im pretty sure this is legit..seen a few more above 9 pop up minutes ago.

some stations have zero fuel, except high grades

The owner can not sue because it's a private information website. He's getting traffic from that site for free either way.

Well gas here in San Jose, Ca is now $4.90 a gallon for premium. SMH

That can't be the only gas station around!! What is the problem????

The website now shows blank for regular gas.

In Sweden we pay 9$ a gallon all the time!!
Get real guys and girls!!

Shouldn't consider it legit as a price when you have somebody who just made an account this evening putting the price in. You don't know much about the gas business, do you?

There's also theory #2 that isn't being considered. There are three stations that have prices listed for reg at the $9 mark. One shows $9.99 for each and that'd be Arco. Arco is owned by Tesoro, which is a small fry compared to the bigger guys. I actually liked the Tesoro VP when he took me to the Mariners game and brought me ontstage at a jazz festival to listen to the singing. Nice fellow. Anyways, Tesoro is having some pipeline related supply issues so that could be why the Arco is showing 9.99. Could be a way of saying--don't bother going here, they are out as the site doesn't have anything like that sort of designation that I recall in my years of being registered on it. Always a possibility for the 76 and Qwik Korner, too. The latter of the two is definitely an independent and most likely out or they were forced to purchase the really expensive unbranded gas off the rack.

Cheers.

seems it was a hoax on gas buddy, seen the 9 dollar list earlier in the night, now gone.

wish i had a screen shot..nearly shit my pants


9 dollar a gallon is very real though if war breaks out with iran....maybe much higher.


but the chicken hawks are drooling to nuke iran


until their fat ass goes to chevron and they see the sticker shock.........

will be glad when the atlantic conveyor shuts down and you and yours become frozen eurosicles enjoy the ice age ) fucko
