Seems like there might be a good opportunity for arbitrage for jobbers, independent fuel haulers. They could go buy the $ .12/gal gas and truck it anywhere where gas is normal price, although I just filled up with regular for $ 1.49, so I don't know if, after the shipping it would actually be worth it. I guess it depends on how close you can go to sell fuel for a more normal (for the current market) price.
This also highlights the need for a robust pipeline transmission line system, so product can move about the country as needed. |

About $2 per gallon here, still very cheap comparatively. It is time to turn over the gas for my generator. I am thinking of filling an extra can or two just to take advantage of the price.

Pro-tip: It's not the oil companies making bank, it's all the regulations that make it difficult to do business in CA that jack the price up, always in that state.

I don't do gas, I do fuel (diesel) and I'm topped off. I don't care what it cost, I'm getting to where I'm going
