“And gas in Kalifornia keeps going up.”
Yeah the oil companies out here always have some lame excuse as to why the prices are high. Right now, it’s “refineries down for maintenance.” We had it touch $2.00 early this year but it’s back up to $3.50 most places. It’s criminal what they do, but I’m betting they’re in cahoots with Jerry the Fairy since there’s a sales tax on gas and so the state has a vested interest in high prices.
Don’t blame it on the oil companies, they operate a small isolated field under the strictest control of any state. California is the second highest consumer of oil in the US and rank 3rd or 4th in production. They consume most if not all of their own production and when they need to import to meet demand it has to come from the other side of the Rockies. California is not very user friendly when it comes to oil and gas production and it’s getting worse. Some producers are starting to look else where and selling old production and moving operations East of the Rockies and I don’t blame them. Let California regulate it’self to death.

Do you think they intentionally blow up their own refineries?
