Man o man! Don't get me started on this one! San Diego boasts highest prices in the country. Was on yesterdays front page. I can't afford to drive my truck right now. I've been driving my Poncho until I find a T5 for the truck.
Over the summer the excuses were: Demand's up and it costs more to truck it to San Diego. Prices will go down after summer. Now it's: Doing refinery maintenance and it costs more to truck it to San Diego. What about friggin' Wisconsin or Iowa? Doesn't it cost to truck it there?!!
And as soon as a barrel of oil increases in price, gas goes up a nickel the next day or the same day. There are many millions, billions of barrels in reserve no? Are we using that $54 barrel of oil right away? I think not! Daaaaahhhh !!
It's all a friggin' scam. Yeah I know we pay less than other countries but, so what. You can't tell me this is not scam. Believe me, Chevron is recouping the cost of that barrel of oil and then PLENTY of profit on top of that!
