The new gas station is open.

[Chris142]

A few weeks ago I posted a tongue in cheek pic of the fuel sign where they must have been testing the sign.

It officially opened some time today. The driveway was blocked @7:15a but was open for business on my way home about 5:15p.

I stopped to take a pic of the actual gas prices.

OUCH!!!!

hmm. electric cars and solar power sounding better...
Just got 30gal for the equiv. price of $2/gal. in rewards points.. only 180 more free gallons to go.
(points are 2 cents but 3 cents value if redeeming for 30gal of gas)

At least your premium grade isn’t $1.00 to $1.30 more per gallon than regular like it is here.

Do they actually fill propane, or just sell the pre-filled tanks?

Do you get gas station fried chicken in California, or is that just a Southern thing?

 

[JeffKeryk]

Good prices! Shell rag is $5.20 to $5.70, if you pay cash, around here.

Those gas prices are stunning. I paid $2.71 for Shell regular here today.

California is an 'energy island' and it might get worse. Valeo and Chevron may close two refineries in the state by the end of the year. The state is considering taking over some refineries and operating them. Plus the Jones Act makes it impossible to transport oil from the Texas ports to California.

They fill your cylinder if the tank is not expired. I have never seen fried chicken at a gas station.

Pih, that is nothing.

 

[JeffKeryk]

And people wonder why hybrids and EVs sell like hotcakes around here...

Pricey up there in the high desert! My local station, there is also a Shell two blocks from there if one wants Top Tier for ~$0.40 more a gallon.

I wish more people would have their tank refilled instead of doing the stupid tank exchange where they only fill to 15 pounds. I spotted one that said 14.75 pounds.

One of many downfalls of living in CA higher $$$$$$.

California I'm guessing due to the prices? Wow a Shelll, All of our shell stations turned into philips 66 or some other brand.

One food website did a whole write up on gas station fried chicken. It's apparently a big thing in Indiana

I was in Los Angeles last week in the Little Tokyo neighborhood, down the street from the Amtrak Union Station. There was a Chevron station there with regular at 7.699 mid grade 7.799, and premium 7.899. As a Vermonter, I found these prices atmospheric, but also was surprised how small the spread was between grades.

The station was pretty large, but did not seem to sell much gasoline.

The Jones act doesn't affect West Coast prices, because it Only applies to trade between US ports. Its fairly unlikely you would ship fuel by ship from say Los Angeles to Seattle. Normally if this was to be an ongoing thing they would build a pipeline. Your shipping Oil/refined products from places like Canada and the Persian Gulf, so the Jones act doesn't apply - any ship can bring it.

I think the disaster with the bridge in Maryland shows why foreign flagged ships in US waters are a bad idea. Taxpayer is on the hook to replace the bridge. Lots of talk about why the Jones act is bad lately - I think its just more globalist fearmongering.

2.73 over here. When will cross border makeshift gas stations start to pop up? They already figured out how to get around federal limits by making fuel cell trailers.
