With gas more than $6 in state, delivery of about 2m barrels is last planned shipment to pass through strait of Hormuz
The average price of a gallon of gas in California already stands at more than $6, but more uncertainty looms as the last oil tanker from the Middle East arrived in the Golden state this week.
The Los Angeles Times reported on Sunday that the New Corolla, which left the Middle East for California before the war broke out, is delivering about 2m barrels of crude oil from Iraq to Long Beach. It was the last planned shipment to pass through the strait of Hormuz.
The California Energy Commission vice-chair, Siva Gunda, told legislators on Tuesday that the state can meet fuel demand for the next six weeks with its current supply.
this is absolutely bonkers we are in for it in the US we cant even get gas and cars right these are the staples of the american war diet yet apr is 8% and gas is $5 gallon average. awesome. glad we have been at war with the middle east longer than i have been alive.
