so cal gas prices...hmm
normally, i'm not a tin foil hat type; but it seems every time that gas prices plummet (nationwide) all of the southern ca refineries suddenly are beset with "maintenance" issues, or "fire" issues, or likewise. me--being the skeptic--can pretty much figure out what's going on here. i call bs. gas has gone up here (at my normal place of purchase) about 50 cents a gallon, in the last two weeks, while it has fallen at about that same rate, nationally. http://www.scpr.org/news/2015/12/23/564 … -increasi/ gotta feed the monkey, dude.

Granted it's in a rather pricey neighborhood, but still... I paid $1.56 at Walmart in a small town an hour or so south of Houston that morning. That's a difference of $1.03/gal.! Most of the stations, even in Houston itself, are well under $2.00/gal. at this point. Yet there are still people buying gas at the corner station. Oh, well.

Jan 02 16 10:19 pm Link There are a few places in the U.S. which seem like they're located in a different country - California, Arizona, Texas, and New Jersey.

Watch how the average price in California and the rest of the country track each other until mid-December before the holiday travel and then they jump in southern California. Where we normally pay about 65¢ more than the US average we're currently paying about $1.05 more. Ridiculous. Jan 10 16 12:20 am Link When gas prices caught everyone off guard and started to plummet, our great politicians and government leaders of California rushed in with plans to jack up gas taxes and other related taxes to offset the price drop and harvest more "revenue," in their oh-so-clever ways and most infinite wisdom. Yesterday, gas at Costco Santee was $2.70/gal. All the other cheap places start at around $3/gal and go up from there. Jan 10 16 02:47 pm Link Click Hamilton wrote: I paid $1.65/gal yesterday.
