Default Gas theft!

My brother lives in the Dallas area (Flower Mound) and came out after grocery shopping and found his fuel door open and the cap gone! He still had some gas so they must have gotten scared off or filled up their can, but cheese louise!

For all you supply and demand oil guys, explain to me how this works for California....

Add $1.50/GAL to the highest volume state and you've just banked $Billions in profits... that doesn't work as well in the lower volume states.

This is all bullshit Wall Street / Corporate greed.... make no mistake.

The answer is because the oil produced in each country does not go directly to that nations market, it goes through the same regulatory shit that all oil goes through. I am not disagreeing with you on the tenets of supply and demand, I am saying that they will screw us no matter how much oil we all produce and have been doing so for a very long time.
