Gas prices suddenly skyrocket in California
As wholesale gasoline prices set all-time highs, some filling stations run out of fuel and don't buy more. Others stay open and pass along costs to customers.
By Ronald D. White and Dalina Castellanos, Los Angeles Times
Skyrocketing gasoline prices caused some local service stations to shut off their pumps Thursday while others shocked customers with overnight price increases of 30 cents or more.
California's fuel industry isn't running out of gasoline — supplies are only 2.5% lower than this time last year — but recent refinery and pipeline mishaps sent wholesale prices to all-time highs this week. As a result, some station owners weren't buying fuel for fear they couldn't sell it. Those who did buy simply kicked prices higher and bet customers would understand.
"If this keeps up, I'll be looking at $5-a-gallon gas by next Thursday," said Ali Mazarei, who owns an Arco station in Riverside County. On Thursday, Mazarei was charging $4.52 for a gallon of regular gasoline, up from $4.27 on Wednesday and $4.21 on Tuesday.
"I really don't have any choice here, and I won't be making money at $4.52 a gallon," he said.
Some fuel stops had already crossed the $5 threshold.
On Thursday afternoon, the Low-P station in Calabasas was selling regular gasoline for $5.69 a gallon in cash, or $5.79 for credit card purchases. In addition to the high prices, the pumps displayed hand-lettered signs reading: "We are sorry, it is not our fault."
The station, whose name is short for "low price," is usually full of drivers attracted by the high-profile location at Calabasas Road and Parkway Calabasas, right off the 101 Freeway. But customers thinned out as prices soared.
Low-P has to pay more "because we're an independent gas station" that lacks the buying power of its big-brand counterparts, said owner John Rabi, who paid $40,000 for a 9,000-gallon load that day, up from $32,000 a few days before.
Some drivers didn't pick up on the price right away.
"Holy shoot! I didn't notice that earlier," Aaron Belcher, 38, said as he ripped his Visa card from the reader. "This is ridiculous."
Tiffany Lemme, who spent $50.29 on less than nine gallons, said she was shocked on a recent trip to Miami when she paid $5.30 a gallon.
"I thought that was crazy, but this is insane," the 31-year-old Woodland Hills resident said... http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-gas-prices-20121005,0,2326954.story

Just to put things into perspective, I calculated that a gallon of gas in Holland is over 9 dollars...
-
i had a client text me at 11pm two nights ago telling me to go fill up NOW. she works at Costco and after she clocked in her manager came up and asked her if she'd gotten gas that day, she said "no". Her manager told her to go back to her car and fill her tank asap. after she did, she showed my client emails reguarding the price hike that was due the next day or two. The email estimated the price to go up $1.50 over the next 3 days, and the La Quinta Costco would not be able to pay the gas supplier and fill their tanks, and would stop serving gas by 130pm on thursday.

Thats bullshit.
You have to replace the special battery in those cars which are ~$5000...
which will offset the fuel costs saved over that period..
just another gimmick....

Wow that's 50 cent more per gallon!!! Bay usually cannot shut up when explaining his exclusive lifestyle but sure the extra dollar or two to fuel his car becomes a critical spending decision ::)
I always get a kick out of people that pretend the extra 2 cent a gallon will blow their monthly budget ::)
If you can afford a car you are better off than over 80% population on this planet, stop whinning and fucking pay the fuel, get smart and don't drive everywhere but may "lol" walk a bit?
Oh and by god I cannot wait until the US cannot afford to balance their fuel prices and you guys have to actually pay the same as the rest of the world hahah that's probably the day when the US second revolution will break out and people will actually loose weight.
Edit: BTW I have 25 Euros per week calculated into our monthly family budget for fuel - 25 fucking euros - that means I am trying to not race all the time and take a more leisure approach driving to work, might also mean that we don't drive to a weekend destination but maybe even take "god forbid" the train :o :o

You Sir, hit the nail on the head.
Look at the DJIA today. There goes the mini-bubble based on speculation of obama losing. The mini run-up in housing starts and prices should come to an abrupt halt later today.

Obama was against subsidies for big oil. These fuckers rose the price knowing that if he tries to stop giving them billions they can say that prices are going up even higher and they are already so high that people will get all pissed off. Fuckers are the devil at work

Which do you enjoy more....being a short, fat, greasy bean bag....or your homosexuality?
-
In Brazil, a gallon would be costing $5,27, but brazilian gasoline comes watered down with 25% etanol (if the gas station is honest), so take that in consideration.
