The gas prices here in So Cal have gone up 30 cents a gallon in two days. The cheapest I could find coming home was $4.69 and the most expensive was $5.49 for regular and $5.91 for premium. The news is we will be at $6.50-$7.00 a gallon in a week or two. Apparently two of the four refineries still making the special California summer blend gas have gone off line for technical issues. The gas that is being produced and used in other states cannot be used in California due to EPA regulations. The news also reported that the gas lines of the 70's may return. Remember the odd & even days?

In OC, the average is up over 50 cents in the last 3 days. I'm a member of gasbuddy.com so I received advanced notice about this and was able to fill up (at $ 3.95 per g) on Saturday. This huge hike does suck, but it is only temporary.

I last filled up around $3.80. I have a BJs membership so I always get my gas there. It's a little bitter cheaper than everywhere else around. I have a 16 gallon tank so it kind of sucks to fill and my car is not fuel efficient by any stretch of the imagination.Comment

I remember a few years ago the state increased gas taxes just because they didn't like SUV's and wanted to force people to drive econo-boxes. Is it another case of that?
I know here in Texas last year several county commissioners tried to raise gas taxes because more people are driving econo-boxes, reducing gas tax income for counties and the state. It was quickly shot down thankfully.Comment

Yeah Rhode Island had a similar 'problem'. I work in Rhode Island so I hear about a lot of crap they try to pull, or do pull. Supposedly, they were considering taxing residents on the amount of miles they drove. This would mean installing some sort of device in the car and I suspect this is the only reason they didn't do it.Originally posted by Sephiroth View PostComment

The thing your talking about is a logger. The auto insurance industry would like see the installed in cars as standard equipment. The record how you drive,where you drive and when you drive. They will then base your rate on the information it has gathered. I think progressive already offers this as a discount. Ya right!Comment

But basically, our recent heat wave caused several outages in a few refineries here in California, affecting supply. Also, "summer blend" gas is required to be sold here until the end of October. Here's another article explaining things:

It's so Orwellian it's sickening.Comment
