Looks like $5/gal gas is here in CA with possible $6/gal in a week......wonderful:(
Seems we are running out of the summer blend gas as refineries switch over to production of the winter blend. :E Problem is, they can't sell the winter blend until Oct 21st and there isn't enough summer blend left to last that long. They are saying we may have stations closing. Our local Costco stopped selling gas yesterday.
The California Independent Oil Marketers Association has requested a variance from the California Environmental Protection Agency's Air Resources Board which will allow them to sell the winter grade gas earlier.
Now according to the Board..."We are evaluating that in conjunction with the California Energy Commission, who are the ones that take stock of inventory around the state,"
"There are certain steps to go through, and a decision will depend on how quickly the information is gathered."
That's beaurocractic speak for "don't expect anything to be done quickly" :M
This******will never end!!
