Has to do with supply and demand, and as they say in Real Estate, location, location, location.

I know in North Fresno the stations are at least 10 cents more a gallon it seams. There's a couple of 76 stations....WOW.
The market will react to the downed refinery by raising prices as they view there could be a long term outtage and supplies could get thinner. Though right now our diesel inventory is actually up over 1 million gallons.
I wonder what kind of impact truckers throttling back from 62 to 55 would have in California? Less tickets issued for speeding (and probably other violations that get picked up at the same time), less fuel tax received, less sales tax received, etc.

Funny thing down here. Oil refined in Long Beach which is about 1 1/2 hours away and there is a pipeline that bring the oil down to SD. The prices are about 25-30 cents more down here. You can drive 2-3 hours away to the middle of nowhere that get the oil from the the same place in Long Beach and the price will be 50 cents cheaper. Go figure.........[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] That's the stuff that ticks me off big time. It's a big joke supply and demand always applies[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

Not all companies apply a freight charge. iknowmy brother's business doesn't and the fuel prices are definatley making an impact on the bottom line. ( He works for a major Corporation) So, not everybody is able to pass the buck. However, we do pay one way or another.

They get steeper fines, 1.5x the points and can accumulate less points on their license as well, before they'll lose their commercial lic.

This is the older more mature version of the spin zone.
