Here we go again with price of gas
August 31, 2012 9:31 PM
About a month or so ago, there was a fire at a refinery in California. I never heard how bad or big it was or as to the amount of damage but the very next day gas and diesel prices went up about a nickel a gallon. The next week it went up 10 cents, and it keeps going up.
My question is how much gas and diesel fuel comes from California? And when a barrel of oil goes through the refinery, how long is it before it reaches the local pump? Or is it that America is getting cheated again?
Now we are told everyone must be prepared because the next big gas price poke is because the corn in the Midwest is not a good crop due to the drought.
So here we go again.
