What, cynical about Big Oil's machinations? Say it ain't so!

I saw a bumper sticker in Calimesa that said what do you call a dead oil executive ? A good start.

A bit ironic that it's on a car.

Probably written by an attorney trying to escape the idea.

Which roads? Highways or local streets? Local road repair is conducted by the municipality, not the state. Go drive around Vallejo sometime and see the results of bankruptcy, some of the potholes are so deep that if you don't get a good running start you will get stuck in them.

Gas prices in ca have risen the fasted in the nation. The summer blend is now being used even though summer is over 3 months away. Also a oil refinery is having problems even though they refuse to say what the problem is (pure greed). A loony tune state legislature woman wants to add a $52.00 a yr fee to our auto registration to pay for the roads cause ca is not getting the money they used to due to the electric cars & autos with great gas mpg. We sure get burned & lied to often in ca.

Yep, the sad thing is the people that act like it is ok because the weather is great.

A exxon oil refinery in Torrance had a explosion a few days ago which shot up gas prices over night. Its VERY strange that no one was hurt in the big explosion. I don't trust oil companies (MANY don't). A consumer watchdog group in ca is asking the legislature for a investigation into the Torrance refinery & the refinery in northern ca. Something smells fishy. Gas jumped 12.5 cents a gallon overnight.
