Message: <blockquote data-quote="mythusmage" data-source="post: 2536250" data-attributes="member: 571">I was listening to the Dave, Shelly, and Chainsaw show this morning (<a href="http://www.101kgb.com" target="_blank">KGB 101.5</a>) when I heard Dave Rickards speak of one city in the south with gas prices of about $3.50 a gallon. He said that if prices were $3.50 outside San Diego he expected prices in San Diego to be about $4.00 a gallon. So he pulls into a station on his way to work, and pays $3.10 a gallon. Nice to be behind the curve for once. BTW, the show repeats at 10:00pm EDT, and can be heard at the website.Now, it is true San Diego is not an island, but there are other ways of restricting access. The pipeline into San Diego hasn't been upgraded in years, nor the storage farm (singular). Why? Well, that gets into politics, so we shant discuss it. I can say that tribalism and nimbyism play a big part in it.As to the prices outside San Diego, they're panic prices. People are panicking, so other people are taking advantage of that. Expect criminal prosecutions over the next year because of this. What with supply interruptions in the South there will be shortages, but as things get straightened out they won't be as bad as some have feared.And the West (including San Diego)? Our oil and oil products come through Los Angeles, we're good. Some of our oil will get shipped east to cover shortages there, but I doubt we'll see anything like shortages ourselves.Walk more, visit the neighbors, get tune-ups and your tires balanced and aligned. You should save on gas.Good luck to you all.</blockquote>
