.........Countdown to starvation

Ddaddy said

The reason fuel prices are going up is because oil prices have risen. Last year at this time it was around $51 per barrel...now it is around $68 per barrel. That’s a 33% increase that the refiners haven’t fully passed along yet because they are still working through the inventory they purchased a few months ago at a lower price...but they will eventually once they run through those supplies.

They NEVER play that catch up game out here. If the gas price goes up for something like a mid east terrorist attack, or more recently a refinery fire... the price goes up immediantly like that hour to reflect the replacement cost of the inventory on hand. The gas always goes up out here at the beginning of summer due to the stupid summer blend that only CA and Norway refines. No joke, sometimes Cali imports gas from Norway! Then it spikes again when the CA refineries 'change over' from the summer blend to the winter blend. Its a no win out here. CNG is now at 3.09 per "gallon of gas equivelence" up from 1.90 when I first started using it
