Yup, this week gas went down $0.08 (that is 8 cents a gallon) WOW.
California (we) did it to ourselves. The State and all the feel good do-gooder voters passed a fuel bill which requires Calif to have a special blend of gas for summer and winter. Since we have so many drivers everyone thought the rest of the country would follow. GUESS WHAT, nobody followed. So gas from other states cannot be imported into Ca for sale. We can only use our gas refined in the state and two of the plants are down (seems to happen every year). Add to that about 80 cents a gallon in various taxes and you get prices hovering about $4 a gallon while the rest of the country is at about $2+.
We are about it do it again with an in state Carbon Tax, and an in state $15 minimum wage. If the guy at the gas station is paid more (of course he/she/it deserves more) the price for product will increase. An in today's paper Calif has the second worst roads in the Nation (OMG who's first) so the legislature wants the increase the gas tax to fix the highways (the present money from the gas tax was diverted to the general fund years ago). But I like the weather.
