Angry Higher gas prices on old stock fuel.

Why would we get charged higher gas prices when the gas on the stations were made prior to shortage/fewer refineries issues? Charge us more on the next batch and not ride the issue and make profit.. @sswipes....

What a scam

$2.37 per gallon at Unocal in UCKK .. what a joke .LMAO

Only in California..

I have more than 101 words to tell them. lol... supply vs. demand my @ss, local station owners have the power to change prices and they take advantage of the situation.

My friend owns a gas station in Menlo Park and he cant beleive some owners took the opportunity and jacked the prices already on old stock inventory..

LMAO

You should see the the two 76 stations right across each other on 19th and Judah in the city. Both stations belong to the same person, when he wants to move more volume at one station to he just adds a few more cents to the other station across the street.

I hate to say it, but as much as I hate the gas prices, if I owned a station, I'd be charging the same amount...

short term, gas prices will be almost perfectly inelastic. Demand for it doesnt change by consumers, therefore suppliers take this opportunity to jack up prices.

Glad to see I am not the only one who understand economics. The supply is elastic, however the demand is unelastic so the prices will continute to rise until everyone stops driving so much or supply increases.
