(((BREAKING))) GAS $6 IN CALIFORNIA!

So what happened yesterday. Why was there no gas in california?
And how much was it, say, last week. Did it go up to $6 overnight or was it a slow creep thing?

California is sitting on the richest oil reserves in the
country, but the tree-huggers won't let them drill for it.

I called a friend in San Diego. It's still $4.50 there.

Ok, so I just talked to two gas station managers that I'm pretty cool with, one from Shell, another from Alliance. The Shell manager I talked to this morning, she said that gas could go up to $6 but that she wasn't sure in how long, thought she said not very long. The one from Alliance who is the one I just talked to about an hour ago, said that it's going up to $5 for sure. But here's what he told me that kinda set off my DOOM sirens, he said that by Monday, most gas station will be closing, if not all. I asked him if it was just Alliance, or if it was all companies, and he said it was all. He said they've been losing around $5000 each day the past 2 days and that they can't go on like that.

I asked him if he knew how long they would be closing down for, and he said he didn't know, that no one knew. That they were waiting on the GOV to step in and "regulate" what is happening. Those were his exact words.

When I asked him why we were not hearing about this on the news, he said that they don't tell us anything. They don't even tell him much until it is about to happen. But that he was already told to be prepared to close down by Monday indefinately if the GOV didn't do anything by then.

I am in Souther Cali, in Orange County by the way.

Just an FYI.

By the way, I gotta give thanks to both those managers, because they both waited until I got gas before raising the prices. Shell raised it .15 cents and Alliance raised it .10 cents right after I pumped. They both told me they were about to raise them, but that they would wait until I got my gas.

If you can, I would fill up as soon as possible.

In New Zealand we currently pay around $8.08 a gallon ( $ 2.14 litre for unleaded petrol)...so thats around $6.60 in USD a gallon...

Can hardly afford to run a car nowadays....costs at least twice as much as it did just a few years ago...

well, then they must have already arrested the gasoline
distributor fat-cats in that area then. great news!

That is interesting cause I was starting to wonder if this was the start of the ball rolling so to speak....The ball that leads to the SPR then TSHTF bigtime...

Time to switch to propane??? [link to www.gotpropane.com]
@ $3.89gal

time to put all the oil executives in jail and nationalize
the oil industry.

we'll put the Army Corp. of Engineers in charge and
then they can draft all the key people that they need
and pay them military wages.

We are monitoring the situation !!

But youd have to throw in their best friends too...the goverment...and we know thats not happening...

:Gas Prices 2008:

The article El Q posted is about one gas station in one city - the affluent* city of Calabasas, north of L.A., where the station raised gas to $5.99 gallon for super unleaded.

Here's a more realistic view of our prices in L.A.. Still high, but not yet $5 in most places.

you better be packing a rosco while riding that two-wheeled commodity in the coming collapse.

You havent seen noth'in yet...as soon as the first ship gets hit in the mid east just the insurance on a super tanker will drive gas to outer space!!!

OCTOBER SURPRISE

like that wont go up if everyone switches to it....

LA ch 5 news says the price will go up this weekend but drop fast next week...YEAH, RIGHT!!! With oil @ $91 a barrel, gas should be approx $2.75...last time gas was $4.60, oil was $140 a barrel....Are we getting screwed or what??
Just shows how little the dollar is worth anymore...QE3, $40 billion a month...from infinity to beyond!!!! Ready for the BIG CRASH??????????????????????? It's gonn'a hurt!!!

And its a byproduct of gas refining so no oil, no propane...then its time to switch to natural gas...Got all bases covered here...Worked in a gas station for the gas lines of the 70's and never had to wait in line or deal with odd and even days...Not do'in it this time either!!!

No this is due to the EPA and an argument with Chevron.

You cant switch to propane on new cars anyhow, well without spending a small fortune...You have to have and older vehicle with a carb(pre 88' or EFI with a distributor(pre 00')
