As reported in our local newspapers, the California gasoline cow is being milked an extra 81 cents per gallon compared with other states. The reasons are the same as always: labor disputes, change to summer blends and, most importantly, that these stupid Californians voted for the stuff. So let them have it and please accept the bill with my compliments.
Editor, is it not time to pull our heads out of our proverbial backsides and perhaps align our gasoline blends with, say, the western states, so we have some options and access to gasoline that can be quickly bought and brought to the consumers? Would that be too much to ask? I wonder if anybody in Sacramento could possibly put the customer, aka humans, first.
I hear you scream “ the environment.” Well, so why are we not refusing to accept any electricity generated by coal, gas and nuclear power plants? Same difference. The mind boggles.
