I can remember a few years ago you bitching about this thread and asking what was the point of it. In the first few pages of this thread in got political and I requested it juts be a place where we could post prices. Its been going for quite some time I'd like to keep it before it goes to shit and gets locked. While I dont disagree with a lot of what you're saying I think some of you are lost without a trump thread and didnt know what to do with yourselves.

There is no separating gas prices from what you call politics now.

3.49 as of this morning when I drove into work. I could almost bet it will have changed when I end the day.

I think the point @Nick87 wants to make is keep the political shit out of his thread. mtmuley

For the purposes of this thread, we can try by just posting prices. We all know why prices are through the roof, and there are other threads for that.

Canon City CO now $3.69/diesel 4.59.

Really?

Yup. I am working in CA for about the next year and this is what you get here…along with crazy politics.

 

[Chama Grande]

We're up about a dollar and a half in Albuquerque, but myself and a few others commute to work to Santa Fe daily. Soon we're going to be taking turns on the company rickshaw the way this is looking

Yep, up 19% percent in CA over the last month. Clearly because of CA politics.

You can google...why are gas prices so high in California. I already knew one reason, but not the largest reason.

California has a $1.20/ gallon excise/ environmental tax on gasoline and diesel. Why? idk, I don't live there.

The reason I knew, is that the gasoline sold in California has to meet strict environmental regulations. Basically, the vapor pressure is a little lower. Most gasoline sold everywhere contains some amount of n-butane, more in the winter, less in the summer. N-butane is the red headed stepchild in a refinery. It is not economically turned into a different molecule. It is too heavy to put into LPG, and too light to put large amounts into gasoline. So, it has very little value. Any that can be put into gasoline, lessens the input costs in that gasoline. California gasoline has, at most, a tiny insignificant amount of n-butane.

Since their emission requirements are so strict, it makes California gasoline is an energy island. A refinery outside of California would have to alter the formulation of a gasoline blend, in order to ship it to California. Lastly, there is not a large network of pipelines coming into California to easily bring in gasoline, say from the gulf coast.

It would not surprise me to learn that the various oil companies knowing the market is essentially captive, pad the margins, where they can. Call it pricing power, for business management mindset.
