It’s the season for gas-price gouging claims

The group Consumer Watchdog is barking again about higher gas prices in California. The activist group announced July 9, “California drivers, who have paid an average of 74 cents more per gallon at the pump than drivers nationwide, have shelled out $4.5 billion more for their gasoline than U.S. drivers from February to June.”
It pegged the extra cost per driver at $180. The group called this the “Gouging Gap,” charging the major oil companies with “artificially manipulating gasoline prices by leveraging their branded gasoline station contracts.”

Those summer and winter blends are biggest oil companies scams. Those blends are to oxygenate fuel only to burn 20% more gas than just regular gasohol. Many other states have already ban oxygenated fuel since it makes air dirtier due to burning more gas and known to cause cancer. Time for Robin Hood Tax against oil companies since oil companies profit over people. Low income people do better on welfare than paying high gas prices to work.
