At least one driver has tested positive so far.

A couple spots on the Eastside had gas at $1.06 / $1.07.... I think they were trying to get rid of their last bit before the truck came. Most spots are in the $1.50 - $1.80 range... though I saw sheetz and a sunoco with gas at $1.28 for a couple days.

Gas is creeping back up. These MOFOs. SMDH
creeping? here gas went from 121 to 1.49 in just a couple of days. i called this long ago. Went and bought a couple of them gas cans you use to store gas for the lawnmower & filled them shits up when prices were low. Gas prices likely going back up to 1.80 (the previous price in SA before this covid stuff started).

Jumped up to $1.55; but I am working from home, or mainly from the apartment of my girlfriend so this is not a big deal for me. I fill up once every 3 weeks

Vegas is around $2.40/gal.

We are always above the National Average cuz our fuel/oil is pipelined from the refineries in Southern California. So we get fucked for pipeline fees.

Oil tankers crowd outside of largest U.S. port with nowhere to unload: "There's no more space"

MAY 6, 2020 / 8:36 AM / CBS NEWS

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cb...demic-oil-tankers-us-largest-port-california/

Off the coast of Southern California, several massive oil tankers have turned the waters surrounding the nation's largest port complex into a floating parking lot. Before the most recent rebound, the coronavirus pandemic combined with an over-supply of crude oil forced a record drop in gasoline prices in April, meaning the ships that traveled miles to port have nowhere to unload.

"We have filled all of the storage tanks at refineries all in California," oil industry analyst Professor Iraj Ershaghi told CBS News' Carter Evans.

He said the traffic jam was simply because "there's no more space" to store the oil.

“There's generally a population of three to five tankers out there waiting to come in," Captain Kip Louttit, who monitors port traffic for the Marine Exchange of Southern California said.

On Friday, May 1, CBS News observed at least 21 tankers — some carrying up to a million barrels of unrefined oil — sitting idle.

Louttit said it was "roughly triple" the number of ships they would have on a normal day. He said they would usually move through the ships quickly, because there was a demand for it.

Since stay-at-home orders led to a sharp decrease in driving, demand for gas plummeted. Instead, Louttit observed the dozens of ships from the marine equivalent of an air traffic control tower.

"We keep them from bumping into each other by watching them on our screens. Just like there are traffic lanes on the road, there are traffic lanes in the ocean, the ships all have them," he said.

Louttit said they had information one of the tankers might have to wait as long as the beginning of July to be unloaded.

With some oil refineries already being forced to shut down, Professor Ershaghi said he fears what will happen when cars are back on the road.

"All of a sudden you go up and you don't have the refinery operation, you don't have the capacity. Well, you're gonna have shortages," he said.

Ershaghi said it would still cost money to keep the ships floating offshore until that point is reached.

"Somebody's going to pay for it and it's going to be you and I," he predicted. "But you just hope if they have to stay here for one month, two months, three months, nothing's going to happen to them."

U.S. Coast Guard Captain Rebecca Ore, who is set to take command of the sector that includes the port, is already busy monitoring the ships for "anything unusual."

Using radar and voice communications, the Coast Guard is able to keep track of where the tankers are supposed to be. Patrol boats in the water and helicopters up above are an added layer of security.

"The anchorages that are all around us are still open to recreational vessel traffic," Ore said. "If we do an aviation patrol from a helicopter we can see if there's anything that looks unusual."

As crowded as the port seems, the tankers floating offshore only take up half of the available space, according to Ore.

"So we have a lot of room for these ships," she said.

The demand for gas is expected to rise as part of California's economy begins reopening Friday. However, according to those Coast Guard members patrolling the port, it could take weeks to clear the traffic jam.

I filled up for 4.09 a gallon in Charlotte. I normally let it click and it's somewhere between 38-42. I just put 40 in this morning. Its cold in the mornings and I'm not pushing as much so I should get more MPGs to make it work. But it raised an eyebrow. Premium hasn't been above high 3s since that bullshit run on gas this Summer.
