Maybe if it hits $7 a gallon by November? Doubt it. Californistan is lost. Hard to believe Reagan was governor of that state.

You must keep in mind that California was a conservative state until the 1980s when a huge influx of Easterners started pouring in here bringing their Liberal c#*p with them. Just like what is happening in Colorado right now. It isn't us native Californians that have brought this on ourselves.

California Gas Prices Force Some Station Owners to Shut Pumps
http://gma.yahoo.com/california-gas-prices-force-station-owners-shut-pumps-064022563—abc-news-topstories.html
(video at link.)

“A gallon of regular gas was $5.69 Thursday in Calabasas, while a gallon of super costs $5.89 with cash and $5.99 with credit. Such prices are causing pain at the pump for many drivers who might see an 11-cent increase by later this morning, which means some could be paying more than $6 a gallon.”

Californians will scream and shout about $6/gal. gas but will they demand more pipelines and refinery capacity? In a word...No.

Evidently the pain isn’t great enough yet to produce a change in attitude.

The land of fruits and nuts; I don't think they'll make the connection between 0 and the cost of gas.

(No offense to those intelligent Californians out there.)

Listening to a gentleman from GasBuddy being interviewed on KFI ,....didn't sound like it.

So all of the refinery have problems or in the process of switching over to the Winter blend of Gasoline required by the State,....

A pipeline is shut down because of some unapproved chlorine or whatever in the mix of product in the pipeline....

State regulations will not allow for much of the Gasoline available in other States ....like Nevada to be transported in because of California having higher standards that the US EPA.

He thought High Gas prices are going to be with us for awhile....

Time to resurrect the pre-Obama gas price post-it reminders and stick them on every gas pump paypoint.

I assume those “economically challenged” by the “new normal” can just leave their hooptey in the driveway and ride the “high speed rail”.

Does NJ still prohibit the customer from pumping the gasoline? I thought that I read sometime back there maybe a change in the works..

Imagine if Obama was having the EPA interrupt production at refineries in ‘safe’ states so excess oil went to refineries in ‘battleground’ states to keep their gas prices down...

Can’t help thinking about it, got my tinfoil around here somewhere.

What motivated the influx of Easterners to CA?

The temperate coastal cities, no snow, sunny almost year round, Hollywood, Disneyland, etc. Few Libs here in Northeast Calif where I live; heavy snow and rednecks (like me) with guns.
