Problem is, diesel is still at stupid numbers.  A dollar or two higher.  And that means higher prices for everyone since transportation costs for goods are still skyrocketing.

It has been explained ad infinitum, and it had nothing to do with the administration or any of its policies. It is also a major driver behind the inflation that the White House is being blamed for.

Couple of stations in my neighborhood below $4 per gallon, finally.

Pipeline leak halts gasoline deliveries in several states

Gasoline deliveries on the West coast have been shutdown by a leak at a pipeline facility in California.

The shutdown is affecting deliveries of gasoline and diesel from the Los Angeles area east to areas including Las Vegas and Phoenix.

Pipeline operator Kinder Morgan told The Associated Press the leak was discovered Thursday afternoon at a company station near Los Angeles and that its pipelines were shut down while the crews worked to resolve the issue.

 

Another excuse to raise the prices

I agree. It's past time for a federal cap on gas prices.

I paid $3.43 in Quartzsite, AZ this weekend.  Not looking forward to having to refill the tanks in LA.

Gas is back above $4 per gallon here pretty much everywhere. The same station in my neighborhood that had it for $3.65 a couple of weeks ago is $4.10 today.

Ever since the Republicans took back the House, gas prices have gone back up.

Gas prices rise for 31st consecutive day in Los Angeles County

Quote

The rising prices are the result of reduced supply caused by refinery maintenance and breakdowns, according to Doug Shupe, the Automobile Club of Southern California's corporate communications manager.

Why does it seem like refineries are always doing maintenance?

I just got back from the river this weekend. Square mile after square mile is being covered with solar panels off the 10 between Chiriaco Summit and Blythe. It's completely ruining the desert. Environmentalists my ass. Someone in the government is getting paid.

 Between here and Vegas there are lot of them and they keep building more

How environmentally friendly are they really?

Here's an opinion piece describing the shenanigans and the environmental repercussions these solar projects pose.

The wind farm projects are worse because they are even less sustainable and they don't produce shit as far as electricity. One nuclear plant could probably provide enough electricity to negate this nonsense but our politicians can't make as much money off that.

It's easier to supply energy from 50 feet away, than 500 miles away.  But producing more energy than you can use on your own land is bad.

@Chuckster70  Congrats Chuck.  Looks like you escaped before Washington went full Calolfornia.

California no longer has the most expensive gas prices in the country
