What most news media outlets fail to report is that $0.40 to $0.60 per gallon of the total cost in CA is due to the so called "Carbon Tax" that voters stupidly agreed to and was jammed down our throats by the Kleptocrats in Sacramento. Guess what ? There is no man made global warming and that money will go into the general fund to disappear like the rest of our tax dollars.
Keep in mind who is responsible for stealing your hard earned money at the next election and don't vote for that party.

I've run out a few times now, Fackin gauge not reading right!

Also, I fill at Shell and get 20 cents off every gallon

Yeah I know, I read about it, I actually live maybe 10 minutes from that refinery in Torrance as well. Closed due to the explosion that happened a couple weeks back. Still trying to fix things from what I was told from a friend of mine that works there.

Once the shortage stops the gas will go back down and once the refinery is back to working status it will drop again hopefully. Around Memorial Day I was reading about how if things went smoothly this summer (which it never does with gasoline) that gas was supposed to come down from the rough $4.00/gallon down to around $2.75-$3.00 by Labor Day in September. It'd be nice to see gas prices like that again haha

Lets get a drink if you're that close! Kill the sorrow of paying $5 for gas.

I think work buys gas for less now

Wow, I start get itchy at 2 dots and think I got got to 1 once... 16.384 gallons by my chart.

I'm going to have a new goal. Can I adjust when the triangle alarm shows up?

u know the title of this thread almost sounds like some blonde joke..

Uxi · 07-17-2015, 02:17 PM

Ca needs a couple more refineries. Especially if it's going to use a unique blend of gas.

Uxi · 07-17-2015, 03:52 PM

That sounds like gas station ripping you off, man

LAVA · 07-17-2015, 04:08 PM

Take a 1 gallon gas can there and fill it up to the line. Then you'll see if the pumps are calibrated correctly
