wonder if there are price gouging laws in the states where there are shortages and prices have been jacked up...

Be glad you aren’t on Pacific Gas & Electric. My tier rates are: $.26, $.33, $.41.
My 4KV Tesla system on the roof only costs $.17.
the CA "summer" blend went on sale earlier in April...it's more costly to refine...plus several major refineries shut down for maintenance...
this line has been trotted out for at least the last 15-20 years...wonder why we can't force the refineries to stagger their maintenance periods so we don't get this production dip...

Will you ever stop begging the government for help to force things?!
The CA gas system is special due to our summer and winter blends only being used in California. There are no pipelines bringing in gas. We refine our own.
Refineries do coordinate maintenance especially in California since they have to back each other up in case of failure. There also is a shortage of skilled of labor. Scheduled maintenance is scheduled sometimes years out. New construction like Keystone XL has an even longer lead time.

I paid $3.54/9 a gallon at Costco this morning... and it was a $71 fill up.

If you want the gubmint to step in lets start with their tax gouging.........they make about 25 times more on a gallon of fuel than the producer/refiner.

If you're smart you can factor this into when it's a good time to roll some of your investments in and out of the oil sector.
