Since when we have to know about this refiners problems and they have to be pass to the consumers. When you buy your house the bank do not lower your mortgage, because that is your problem. Same scenario here but in reverse.
I think they just want to rise prices for they convenience they do not care about us; especially here in California the state with more cars than people. 4 years ago when Mr Bush still in office they pull the same game, come on Wake up people..

Instead of oil companies coming up with lame excuses, why don’t they just tell the truth when they raise gas prices, that would be “Because we can.”

Maybe we all need to stage a day of protest like we did back when and boycott stations. No one seems to listen to “us” otherwise.

Gene Ricky Shaw, Get you facts right. Gas dropped in price during the Crash of O8 due to a big drop in usage and then came back up after. Gas before 08 was $4.06

Oil companies behaves like a separate government for country. Every time they increase the price and announces we can’t bare this loss .

Well the gas companies that make Billions of profits each QUARTER are at it again. Gas up at my corner station went up 28 cents in FIVE days. Panic? Maybe we should nationalize the gas companies and cause them a real panic!
Come on Obama and congress get these fools under control. There is no reason for these ridicilous jumps almost weekly then they drop a few cents and jump again.

Price of wholesale oil dropped $4 today to well below $90. Wholesale gas dropped well below $3 to $2.77. I guess CA has it’s own set of rules.
Just a bunch of crap to make more $:
Phillps 66 is doing maintenance at refineries in Rodeo in the East Bay and in Arroyo Grande;
Good timing.
Cap and trade wouldn’t have any effect on this. It’s just the game they play.
Fear the pollution from these refineries, not environmental laws. Any idiot that thinks we need less regulation on these guys isn’t paying attention or is too stupid to realize what is going on!

I wondered how long it would take before someone brought up the conspiracy theories about “big oil” (it’s always ‘big oil’ not just ‘oil’) helping Romney. It was the first comment!

Have they been “helping” him for 4 years? Gas is DOUBLE what it was when Obama took office. Wake up!

Wayne, I could not have said it any better.
Oil companies sucking the money of suckers. I read once that i Brazil car prices are way above what they should. When car companies were asked why? They said: Because pay it. Yeap there are suckers everywhere, and we all pay for them.

There are three reasons why prices go up, one is speculators who artificially inflate the price, greedy oil companies, and us stupid consumers who allow our selves to be manipulated and ripped off.
