Wizard_with_a_Pipe@reddit

The other team believes everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect whether you agree with their lifestyle or not. That government has no business interfering with the private lives of the citizens. That personal medical decisions are between a doctor and patient and nobody else. And that other people's genitals are none of your business unless you are in an intimate relationship with them. It's the Republicans that are obsessed with 0.001 percent of the population they have never met.

Who the fuck actually thought men could get pregnant? Yall took the most extreme people and used that as your example to fear monger. The thing with the people like Biden and Harris is they wouldn’t have changed shit. They were the status quo.

Also cali has wrecked the oil refinement/processing plants. It was almost $7 avg for gasoline in cali a bit two years ago and that was before he was back.

[-]

Timmy98789@reddit

California wrecked them or companies using that as a cop out?

[-]

GabtsbyForaDay@reddit

Both. Newsoms benefactor was getty, an oil billionaire heir. Who helped fund 10 of his businesses. He isn’t going to bite the hand that fed him. We have the highest fuel taxes totaling 90cpg. While not crazy drop if we aren’t taxed do you think california having the highest gas prices averaging a dollar to three dollars higher than elsewhere has something to do with him and or our state legislature because if it was just oil greed why wouldn’t every state be closing in on $7 per gallon?

[-]

Timmy98789@reddit

Valero and Phillips 66 was on the way out, this was just a perfect excuse. You don't up and decide to close down multi billion dollar refineries. Counting pipeline as storage is comical and they didn't like that.

Oh yeah, the taxes are higher than other states, that can't be refuted. Where does California predominantly get its crude oil from? How many pipelines are crossing over the Rockies to other states?

It is definitely both. Politicians pumping and dumping, they don't care.

Shits fucked up, yo!

[-]

GabtsbyForaDay@reddit

Yeah they were for a while but the reason is still because of california. I’m for helping curb emissions and all but being too progressive too fast harms everything usually.

Yeah man and many politicians have their hand in ev stuff ao they make money pushing it.

[-]

Timmy98789@reddit

You understand the storage requirements and the refineries pitched a fit because they were including pipelines and that got squashed. Price manipulation due to limited storage has been an ongoing issue.

Yeah, you don't understand the full picture and that's ok.

[-]

GabtsbyForaDay@reddit

Also going from about 40 refineries to less than 15 is a huge factor. It ha been ongoing for decades with cal state and oil companies. And no one fully gets the full picture as there is so much not even talked about that happens behind closed doors that never sees the light of day. It’s all a game to the elite, and you and i are just at the bottom. Haven’t looked much into the storage but fines can go up to a million a day is definitely huge, and the cost to build new storage isn’t going to be cheap. Companies don’t just eat costs, and cali has stringent over the top requirements.

[-]

Nippon-Gakki@reddit

No, the average was $5.25 in April 2024 (source US EIA). I did see a few higher in some areas but I have never once paid more than I did this morning for 87.

[-]

GabtsbyForaDay@reddit

Sorry meant late 2023. Couldn’t remember the time frame. And in los angeles county gas it was higher than elsewhere. I have two pictures i found from sept 19 then the 28th and it went from 6.39 to 6.69 for 87.

[-]

lemonjuice707@reddit

$5.92 and depending how long you’ve been in the state. The average all time high is $6.43

[-]

theboywthagreenscarf@reddit

Bullshit. I was fueling up at about 5 a gallon like 4 months ago.

[-]

ksyoung17@reddit

Part of the answer here.

Valero got whacked by the state in 2024 for VOC emissions that, certainly were over the limit, but evidence suggests they didn't spend 24 hours a day dumping tons of organic volatiles into the atmosphere. It was a percentage of the time the sensors failed to detect and filter properly.

CA didn't care, and fucked them, so, they'll shut down and get the hell outta CA.

Which of the remaining states didn’t have fuel spike this last month?

So

Much

Winning.

[-]

TruckinTuba@reddit

My state had a fuel spike, but its still $3 less than yours 🤷‍♂️

[-]

GoodGoodGoody@reddit

So you’re saying you’re paying a hell of a lot more this month?

That’s quite a flex.

You really showed me.

[-]

TruckinTuba@reddit

Not really no, I dont drive a whole lot

[-]

GoodGoodGoody@reddit

Oh, your word was “spike”.

My mistake, I though you knew that spike means a hell of a lot more. So sorry, I’ll go slower for you.

[-]

TruckinTuba@reddit

You're just mad You're in California 😂

[-]

GoodGoodGoody@reddit

Really? I don’t feel mad.

And If you say i’m in Calif then I’ll just have to believe you.

But enjoy the winning of paying a looooot more at the pump for Trump’s Israel war in Iran.

[-]

GabtsbyForaDay@reddit

Yeah i love and hate california, specifically southern cali. Literally a culture dump(good and bad), good weather with ocean, mountains & desert close, a lot to do from major and small music scenes with it being a big stop for world tours with i think like 10 or more big venues that can hold 5-10,000 people and many more small ones, lot of entertainment in a small area like six flags, disney, knotts, & universal. The policies & most politicians are trash and our money gets wasted horribly by the billions.

I mean the Calif economy is bigger than Russia (and MAGA folk know all about Russia) and Japan and it’s the most populous state… they must be doing soooooomething right.

lemonjuice707@reddit

No one said it wasn’t it. These outrages prices are due to local government and not the federal. This is why you only see the CA prices tending because they have the biggest shock value.

When in actually it’s up 35%. Certainly nothing to scoff at but a drop in the bucket compared to the regular price.

[-]

WorknForTheWeekend@reddit

35% is not a “drop in the bucket” it’s 35%! Sure the nominal base price is more, as is everything in CA; it’s the most desirable and sought after place to live in the country, and combined with being among the highest incomes in the country, the supply and demand forces at play are nothing unusual. But fuel being up *35% sure is

There has been a huge spike, but I stockpiled a bit of fuel. Shopped fuel hard. A lot of stations price diesel when purchased. Those places didn't price jump fast until they ran out. Other places dropped back when they hit a pre contracted delivery. I'm checking gas buddy multiple times per day, along with my fleet card pricing. Tomorrow might be my first pricy fill up.
