Gasoline prices in the USA.

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

Someone sent me an email about boycotting the two biggest gasoline importers, Exxon and Mobil.

Well, you need to find a major importer that does not sell gas to anyone else and then boycot one company.

They said that after they don't sell any gasonline for a week they will lower their prices because the supply from the middle east will start backing up on them.

This will start a gas war.

If I boycotted the gas companies I could not drive all the way to the Yuba to get skuned, Oh darn!

My only type of gas wars are formed with the combination of myself, my new roommates and a couple cans of baked beans

I paid over $3.20/gallon in Bridgeport last week but had a good day on the East Walker River on the Nevada side, so I soon forgot the cost of gas.

My solution to the high gas prices is moving from the big v-8 down to a 4 cyl. and just learn to live with it's shortcomings.100 bucks is too much dough to budget in for weekly fishing trips.So in my own way I guess I am stickin it to the gas companies.

CRONIES by Robert Bryce reveals it all...make sure you check your oil level when filling up. Thom

Given the high cost of gas I am currently not driving to go fishing. Believe it or not, I take the bus. Being a csu chico grad student I ride for free (I think butte college students do to) so I just take the BCT oroville -chico bus from downtown chico to either downtown oroville or to the wallmart to fish the bridge - matthews.

Too bad the bus doesnt go to redding or yuba .

PS: we spend billions of dollars on protecting saudi arabia, plus all the lives we give, Bush better start do some politicizing to get prices down. People talk about how high gas is in europe, but they dont have their sons coming home in body bags like we do, or act as the sole protectors for saudia arabia. If all the money we spent on oil nations were factored in, I wonder what the true cost of gas would be?

Perhaps the bush twins will enlist for the cause .... David

I saw $3.30 at Lee Vining.
I was surprised to see B/port resv all blue already.
How were the E.W. flows?

Digger:

The East Walker flows were about 260 CFS when I was there last week. I think it is around 300 now. It was not a bad level, and I was able to cross the stream at the first access through the fence inside the public section at Rosachi Ranch. It is a lot easier to walk down the river to various access points through the thick scrub on the far side, since there is a road cut through the brush there. It is really difficult to get anywhere on the near side. Caught a 16" and 20" brown on flashback pheasant tail nymphs behind a big rubber-legged stone fly nymph (same rig Mike Bias had me using successfully on the Yuba back in February). There were quite a few stone flies around, as well as a nice BWO hatch around 1:30 pm, but I never saw a single fish rise. The water was pretty discolored. I almost stepped on a huge old fish that had seen its better days and was not about to move out of his holding area as I waded through. Kind of sad to see.

Everyone's complicit in the high pricing.
OPEC of course, our greedy US oil companies, are always easy to blame.

China & India using increasing more oil, the fall of the largest Russian oil company, the decline in the value of the US $, Ca taxes are about .30/gal more than Nevada, different formulations for the seasons and county's for pollution control, and those wonderful speculators in the oil futures market taking advantage of all the interest right now etc., etc.
