You think gas in CA is expensive?

I just paid 3.19/gal for regular. News says some stations are now over $6 a gal. I bet all the Honda people are laughing. Of course my non-turbo car is still in NV.

$6/gal sounds like an extreme exaduration...

all the articles i've read (CNN, Yahoo, etc..) all say, at peak, we may see as much as $4/gal in some metro places, and in areas of the south & mid-west by Labor Day but should taper back off and settle "close" to what it is now (i'd assume it's gonna be higher just cus oil companies see anything as an excuse to keep prices up)

gasoline supply will be resolved soon, the 2 pipelines are expected to be up and running shortly. it's the damn big oil companies refusing to increase refining to gouge. bastards.

There are places in SF that have sold for $6/gal. they sell regular and super for the normal prices but put the PREMIUM at $6 because they claim, most cars don't need premium. For the cars that do, the owner should be able to afford the $6/gal.

Actually, environmental laws have prevented big oil companies from constructing more refineries.
