| #14 The below referenced graph from the US Energy Information Administration should really be the graph used whenever gasoline prices and sales is discussed, but almost none has seen it: Plunging US gasoline sales 1983-2012 |

| #13 The request to the Governor to let them start the winter blend, permitted after October, has failed to get approval. The winter blend is aparently easier to make and could increase production significantly. So, the people of California get gouged at nearly 5 bucks a gallon for some miniscule air quality issue for 25 days. Truly a state run by blinded ideaologues whose "public servants" have no concept of serving but belive that they are duty bound to direct the plebs. The Great California Exodus explained in detail. Wealth departing, hands-out arriving..... http://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/cr_71.htm |

| #12 I'm in California but tend to buy gas across the state line in Reno, where it's about 50 cents cheaper, although Reno gets its gas from refineries in California. Makes ya wonder. |

| #11 My car has a 25 gallon tank. I paid $102 yesterday to fill it up. Yeah, it hurt. |

| #10 Someone should tell California politicians that 50Hz, 240V electrical power is "greener" than 60Hz, 120V. Then they'd sever themselves from the rest of the country's grid and the rest of us wouldn't have to carry them. |

| #9 Glenmore ... that in a nutshell is the problem right there. No sense in California rules and regs. |

| #8 Between those two refineries the state is short 25% of capacity, and because of special California fuel requirements, the supply cannot be replaced from other refineries elsewhere. |

| #7 The refinery at Torrance had power problems and is shut down. That's another strike against supplies |

| #6 Chevron's big refinery in the Bay area is mostly closed since a fire a couple of months ago. Locals are pressing hard to get the repairs made to new construction standards rather than being grandfathered. To do so would 1. delay re-opening from ?6 months to ?1-2 years, or 2. close down the refinery and replace it with one built in the Far East somewhere. The latter was the preference of a lot of Californians a few years ago and almost happened before politicians counted the beans and realized how much that would cost them. |

| #5 But you can still visit without a visa. Here's hoping that condition doesn't persist for much longer. |

| #3 The Amish walk. Yes, they have buggies but they prefer to walk. Then they have friends that help transport them from time to time. I can't abide all the garbage they wear nowadays for bikes. |

#2 Oh I forgot, you all can find more information on commuting by bike at the Official California Site http://calbikecommute.org/ - Good luck.  |

| #1 Better get use to it Kids, your gas shortage plays right into the Democrat Socialist Platform and Kalifornia Environmental policies in general. I have a suggestion for you, start using one of these, it matches your 3rd world status.  |
