California Gas Prices Force Some to Shut Pumps - GoFuckYourself.com

Dayum. Cry in your collective beers.

Soaring gas prices across California have forced some station owners to shut off their pumps while people change their driving habits or, in some cases, avoid driving all together.

A gallon of regular gas was $5.69 Thursday in Calabasas, while a gallon of super costs $5.89 with cash and $5.99 with credit. Such prices are causing pain at the pump for many drivers who might see an 11-cent increase by later this morning, which means some could be paying more than $6 a gallon.

The high price of gas is simply not worth it for some mostly independent gas station owners who'd rather stop selling gas and ride out the prices that cut too deeply into their profit margins.

Low-P station owner Tanya Barkhordar hopes the customers don't blame her for the price hike.

"This is what I love," said Barkhordar, who's open for business after closing for a day because she couldn't get gasoline from a refinery. "We're sorry it's not our fault. We have no choice."

Recent refinery fires in the state and pipeline problems are the culprits behind the high prices that are causing California reserves to hit a 10-year low.

The national average is up to $3.78 per gallon, but prices are topping $4 a gallon in many states. In Washington State, residents are faced with an average price of $4.03. In the Northeast, those living in New York and Connecticut are paying an average of $4.10.
No one is feeling it worse than those in California, where gas is up 45 cents from a year ago.

"This is the worst it's ever been," station-owner Barkhordar said. "These are the highest gas prices we've ever had."

Brujah · 10-05-2012, 11:29 AM

$3.51 gallon here

Nasty · 10-05-2012, 11:30 AM

I'm in California and I paid 4.15 a gallon this morning, guess for impact, they had to find the most expensive gas price they could, fucking media

NaughtyRob · 10-05-2012, 11:32 AM

NaughtyRob · 10-05-2012, 11:32 AM

GAMEFINEST · 10-05-2012, 11:35 AM

it is very expensive.

marcop · 10-06-2012, 02:20 PM

I paid $4.99/gallon for Premium gas in Woodland Hills yesterday, and on the Westside prices are over $5/gallon.

Rochard · 10-06-2012, 02:38 PM

It was $4.50 outside of Sacramento this weekend. Whatever. Bend over and take it.

The more gas is... The less idiots are on the roads.

epitome · 10-06-2012, 02:56 PM

Since I work from home I do not even pay attention to gas prices. I have no idea what I've been paying. Now when I was doing 300 miles a day I was acutely aware of gas prices.

Va2k · 10-06-2012, 03:01 PM

Damn here in Hampton roads virginia I found it for $3.32 a gal.

rowan · 10-06-2012, 03:03 PM

Awww, diddums. Petrol prices here (southeast states of Australia) have been floating around the $6/gal mark for years.

A 10% rise hurts people? That happens here on a friday night...

Zeiss · 10-06-2012, 03:24 PM

Diesel Power!

Matt 26z · 10-06-2012, 04:03 PM

Drill baby drill! We have all the oil we need to become energy independent.

Oh, wait.... You mean the middle east will just cut production to raise the price of oil back up?

The US needs to nationalize the oil industry. It's the only way to keep US oil off the world market. Americans need to demand this.

Yea it sucks

epitome · 10-06-2012, 09:53 PM

It's always a refinery or pipeline issue and everyone eats it up. There is a reason oil companies continue to have record profits...market manipulation.

Colo_bitch · 10-06-2012, 10:05 PM

I say everyone adopts a horse and rides it down the freeway in protest . Tell them of they don't lower it we will ride horses to commute . Without people buying or paying car registration because they now ride a horse maybe they will lower it

Orrrrr run cars off servers. Each person has to purchase a server when they register their car . But the problem I came up with is.. What if the server goes down ? Redundancy?

Colo_bitch · 10-06-2012, 10:52 PM

Yes lots of jobs created and data centers would need to be huge to accommodate all the cars. But horses are by far cheaper

Colo_bitch · 10-06-2012, 10:57 PM

Omg if the servers went down cars would just stop running all over the world. That would be a huge problem

Those were good times. Premium on westside is over $5.50 now.

Can you imagine Hawaii? Must be 8 bucks a gallon.

Ask Exxon, Standard and Shell why Romney and Obama are irrelevant.

Seriously, we should be dragging the oil company execs and wall streeters out of their mansions and stringing them up.

thegreatestporn · 10-07-2012, 01:12 AM

Or oiling in Alaska. Lots there...ah crap. Nevermind, we might hurt the animal life.

AllAboutCams · 10-07-2012, 01:22 AM

$1.50 per ltr
its already goes higher than that here

k0nr4d · 10-07-2012, 01:40 AM

I'd be filling up my car with a smile ear to ear at $4 or even $6/gal.

Poland = $2/L = $8/Gal
Netherlands = 1,70EUR/L = $9/Gal

so when health care is nationalized everyone screems it should be private but when gas prizes rise it should be nationalized?

Healthcare and utilities should not be for profit. We now have so many doctors here who are nothing more than shills for pharma. Oil companies are where Nazi's went after WW2.
Oil affects many aspects of everyone's life whether they drive or not. Ask Prescott Bush who made millions supporting Nazi's and developing oil biz.

Oil companies now are trying to kill the independent operators. People in the world should not be held at gunpoint when they go to the pumps. In West LA, company stations are 50-75 cents less than the indies.

Obama and Romney are both Big Oil's Bitches. That is why neither say much of anything. Neither can do anything. Neither will do anything. Just like our beloved shit sandwich congress.
