    PATRICK DE HAAN: We're just talking about an incredible number of refinery disruptions. Keep in mind, it's after the summer driving season. Refineries normally do maintenance this time of year. Typically, that's not a problem. But when you have another several refineries, in the instance of California, several, three refineries down unexpectedly, suddenly there's a massive crimp on gasoline supply. And that's what's causing prices in California to go sky high, so much that Governor Newsom in California eased California's stringent requirements for gasoline effective immediately.

    It is not unexpected, refinery utilization has running at unsustainable rates for about a year because we dont have enough refineries and the pollical pressure from the Revolution to keep running has been enormous . Eventually they either get shut down for maintenance or else they blow up....this is a known known.

    In Arizona gas prices vary by region within the state. Phoenix and northern Arizona generally pay .10 to .40 more for gas than southern Arizona. The reason is Southern Arizona gets their gas from refineries in Texas by pipeline while Phoenix and norther Arizona get theirs from refineries in California. California drives the cost of refining up and that is reflected in the price at the pump.

    We've got serious economic problems, but our political problems are much worse.
    The founders set us up with a shitty form of government,
    and now our problems are so serious, they probably can't be fixed by our present form of government.
    Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Samuel Johnson, 1775
    Religion....is the opiate of the people. Karl Marx, 1848
    Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. Kris Kristofferson, 1969
