Hi, I hear all the theories, and some make sense, but why is Southern California always on the high side? Are the oil wells too far away? No, I could walk to the nearest oil well from my house. [about four miles] Are the refineries too far from my house? No, there are several within 20 miles from my house. [I ride that far on my bicycle 3 times a week] And I'm sure that is not too far to drive a tanker truck either. So, for me, I'm not buying the transportation theory; Unless it's like Orange juice, we have wonderful oranges grown right here in Southern California, but they keep giving us orange juice from Florida. Is our gas being trucked to Florida?
