Given the obvious in your face corruption in the local fuel supply I say YES! A small town in Kentucky just voted to open a city owned station because the people there face the same kind of corruption that we do here in Eureka. Its time to fight back.
The town is Somerset Kentucky and they seem to be a high fuel price island just like Eureka and Arcata.
Take the poll:
Should the City of Eureka Open a Public Gas Station to Combat Corruption?
Oil Rises $2.99 on Bigger-Than-Expected Gasoline Supply Decline
By Mark Shenk
Aug. 13 (Bloomberg) — Crude oil futures rose more than $2 a barrel after a U.S. Energy Department report showed a bigger- than-forecast decline in inventories of gasoline as refiners shut units and imports fell.
Gasoline supplies dropped 6.39 million barrels to 202.8 million barrels last week, the biggest decline since October 2002 when Hurricane Lili and Tropical Storm Isidore disrupted output along the Gulf of Mexico. Stockpiles were forecast to decrease 2.15 million barrels, according to a Bloomberg News survey.
“Refiners are cutting runs and imports plunged because demand is so weak,” said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research in Winchester, Massachusetts. “Refiners weren’t making money so it made sense to shut units.”

Rationing threat as police prepare to get tough with striking drivers

Think $4 a gallon gas is already too much? Then brace yourself, says one expert.
“The prices that we’re paying at the pump today are, I think, going to be ‘the good old days,’ because others who watch this very closely forecast that we’re going to be hitting $12 and $15 a gallon, and then, after that, when world oil production goes into decline, we’re going to talk about rationing,” Robert Hirsch, Management Information Services Senior Energy Advisor, said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
