Gas Price Gouging

[Independent thinker]

Thought this article was funny. The current average price per gallon of gas in the US is $3.89 per gallon. The current average price per gallon of gas in California is $6.33 per gallon. Now California, who's residents pay $2.44 per gallon more than the average price of gas than the rest of the US, is attempting to claim that it is the oil companies who are price gouging, taking the blame off of themselves, who seem to be the real price gougers.

Gas gougers beware: California is onto you at last

At long last the California government is onto the oil refiners who essentially steal billions of dollars from motorists every year.

With Newsomes war on gas, every single gas station, company, and refinery should close up shop and leave the state.

Then let that POS governor explain why he ran them all off!!!

Gavin Newsom knows his supporters are dumb enough to believe oil companies are only greedy and dishonest in California. Everywhere else, they're on the level.

These people actually believe this.

If the Californians don't like it, why don't they just do alternative forms of energy like clean, green electricity?

I just got back from CA. Up around Shasta, the price was about $6.50, with premium at almost $7.

Anybody with brains & the ability to do so is either leaving the state or have gone already.
Now the lefties will come on & say they live there but aren't leaving, proving they have neither brains nor ability

See the oil companies. Record profits. ^Shrug^. But being fair, California is worse off because of their distribution system, laws and taxes put in place for gas and of course, the special blend of gas they are required to distribute. Susceptible to shortages.
Don't like it? Move.

But they have billboards up begging people to stay. I guess next up is border fences to keep their people in so they can't leave.

It's coming. There will be financial barriers first (exit taxes, penalties, fines, etc.). Then there will be legal barriers next (penalties for leaving, forfeiture of assets, etc.). Then they'll become physical barriers (walls, fences, guards, etc.).

Maybe they are just obeying the billboards begging them not to move.

$5 Gas is back in Santa Clara, CA.

over $4 back in Mesa, AZ.

Diesel in Santa Clara heading up up up.

Every good purchased delivered by diesel. they don't drop goods out of electric helicopters down to WalMart (for LW loons).

Gas was $2.30 under Trump policies.

Asshole Dems in my state quietly jacked up the gas tax .50 cents a gallon in January, screwing over the poor and working class. Thanks Dems you scum!

Oil companies are beholden to their shareholders, not the public.

One example:

Chevron raises buybacks and says exposure to Russia is limited​

Major oil companies are responding to a jump in profits this year from higher oil and gas prices by giving back more cash to shareholders, many of whom have been frustrated by years of low returns.

So far, most shale operators have signaled that they plan to put capital returns above output growth, even as U.S. oil prices crossed $100 per barrel earlier this week.

Why do people get upset if Big Oil makes a net profit of 25%? 40%?

but not upset with Amazon or APPL make even bigger net profit?
