In addition to the Federal requirements put on the refiners of gasoline by the EPA, California has its own state EPA requirements as well as CARB (Calif Air Resources Board) sticking their nose into everything.  That's likely another reason gasoline costs more to produce here in CA.

We've had our fuel door locked for quite some time now. I'm more concerned about vandalism (spiking the fuel for engine failure) more than fuel theft), either way it is a deterrent...

If you listen carefully to the Biden admin everyone needs to shut up and go buy your EV cars, bus'es and trucks then no more worries about oil and you will save mother earth in the process. (Remember don't let a crisis go to waste.)

It is going to be tough now to drive for $1.50 a mile just for fuel with a RV ,fuel will get higher before a decline,the middle east producers raised their prices Tuesday ,they are not going to pump more but the same amount at higher prices it sucks

Ironically we (USA) still pay a lot less for fuel than most countries.

We have more untapped oil than most countries to,it doesn't help with a woman running our energy dept that taught politics at Berkly in Ca and has no back ground in petroleum,and now she is a expert in clean energy

Well, O'Bama did say he wanted to drive gas prices up to over $5.00 a gallon so it looks like they are back on the plan.

Looks like today crude prices dropped 12%, the worst day since November for oil prices. Hard to tell what's going on anymore.

That happens when people short sale the oil futures (1000 barrels) they sale the price drops then they buy back
