Gasoline Goes up 1 dollar per gallon in 3 hours! Wait.. Oil is 53 a barrel and opec says go even lower on oil barrel price
Driving around southern California I was looking for Gas under 3.60 a gallon...

when to my amazement I saw Gas at some stations at 4.71 per Gallon!

I rushed back and still got Gas at 3.63 a Gallon and driving home saw.. 4.33---4.69..4.71~
Orange County wakes up to shock of $4.35 and climbing: Gas prices soar at independent stations
Orange County motorists blinked Friday and saw gas prices top $4 a gallon at some of their neighborhood gas stations.

At OC Gas on Grand Avenue in Santa Ana, prices shot up to $4.35 from $3.27 on Wednesday.

Frank Zamarripa of Santa Ana was shocked when he saw the prices. The 78-year-old’s daily drive involves shuttling his great-grandchildren around town.

“The price went up real bad. Whose fault is it? Let’s blame somebody,” he joked. “What can we do?”

BTW...If anyone in Austin, TX wants to buy a Prius tomorrow, you should come to the biggest dealership in town. I've worked there for over a year and when gas prices go up, the manufacturer incentives for the Prius disapear.

As it stands now, unaffected by this new development, we are discounting them a ridiculous amount, and if gas goes up similarly here in Texas, you will be so happy you listened to this warning.

I watched it rise a buck during my egress from Katrina almost a decade ago. I also waited in line at gas stations during said egress as the pumps ran dry.

That was, as they say, an eye opener.

I was in Orange yesterday and filled up my plug in Prius for $3.49 gallon before a trip this weekend. $22 total to fill and had driven around 600 miles. Yeah it is a gay ass little car, but at the gas station, it is sooo much better than the chev 4x4 truck I had before.

Get ready for a new oil low.


The bottom may still lie ahead, as the market remains "massively oversupplied," the International Energy Agency said Friday.
The report noted that Iraqi oil output was more than 4 million barrels a day -- an all-time high.


The IEA, which monitors energy market trends for the world's richest nations, said global oil supply has surged an additional 550,000 barrels a day in June, rising in both OPEC and non-OPEC countries.
OPEC supply rose by 340,000 barrels a day in June to its three year high of 31.7 million barrels a day. That means the cartel is producing 1.7 million barrels more than the official target OPEC ministers agreed to last month.

Did CA see an increase in gasoline taxes?

See, here's how all this works according to the industry experts here in Michigan when we wanted to know what the hell is up with gasoline prices.

The supply chain, you see, is very long - it takes up to two weeks for the gasoline produced at the lower per barrel price to reach the pump. That's why you don't see an immediate drop in gas prices when oil falls.

On the other hand, the supply chain is so short due to just in time stocks that the rise in oil prices is reflected at the pump within 24 hours of the price of a barrel of oil going up. Really, there's nothing we can do about that.

And that's how they explain it. No collusion between the companies or refineries of course. Honest to God that's how they explain it. That's in Michigan of course. Your state my do it differently.

People often make the mistake a barrel of oil as the ultimate price at their gas pump. In reality, it's not, even at a $100 a barrel, it's still pretty damn cheap. No, what rules are the people with the refineries and the industrial capacity to process all the crude oil. They're the ones ultimately determining the price and the government adding their little sprinkle to it too. A lot of oil producers are not able to do anything with the oil other than to sell to the extremely small choice of people who have these refineries.

The Socal gas market is its own market island due to CA gasoline specs and the refineries. It is much much more volatile than the rest of the u.s.

Prices on the pipeline went up $1/gal in two days because of delays in getting gasoline imports. No conspiracy. Just normal gasoline supply chain tightness in CA in the summer.

 Quoting: GodIsreal


A barrel of oil is only about 40% gasoline, and 20% diesel fuel.

The remaining 40% is other heavier hydrocarbons such as bunker fuel oil, motor oil, and grease.

There is also huge costs in transportation and refining. And keep in mind that nowadays gasoline is 10% ethanol, so that factors into the price as well.
