Replying to: epnfrn (Oct 27, 2006 2:26 pm) The big factor for me buying my GX was the convienience of a fueling station close to home 24/7, and now happy as hell the price is 1.654. 54 cents difference, something is wrong here! Feds just kicked suppliers 50c gge minus 12c increase in tax

Replying to: jetboatjohnny (Oct 27, 2006 4:23 pm) I live in Garden Grove and have the choice of driving 2 miles to the CE pump in Seal Beach or driving 2 miles to the Gas Co station - which do you think I choose? While out to lunch in Seal Beach a while ago I ran into the gentleman from CE responsible for setting their prices. I mentioned that I avoided their pumps whenever possible because of the noticeable price difference - he got very defensive and said that the Utilities like So Cal Gas and Long Beach Energy (before CE took them over) sold the fuel at below cost and poor, poor CE were only just scraping by. I have never heard such unmitigated BS - how do they respond to the fact that the Utilities got an increase in the price they charge for compression so that they could "better track gasoline prices" yet they are still consitently cheaper than CE? What about the interview I heard on the radio where T. Boone Pickens (CE founder, president and CEO) said there was a glut of Natural Gas - followed by an increase in prices at the pump? I never ever use CE unless I am absolutely stuck, and even then I would rather run to a So Cal Gas pump with my fuel light blazing. I know it's tough but, being as how we have to plan our driving around CNG pumps anyway - let's try and avoid CE pumps whenever possible. It may not change CE's policy, but maybe if the other suppliers are seeing steady sales it will discourage them from handing over their pumps to CE like Long Beach did. BTW where are you filling at $1.654? Garden Grove So Cal is $1.835 as of today.

I commute to Brea (143 miles r/t) and usually stay one night in OC and fill in Diamond Bar (SCAQMD Pinnacle 1.85) on my way in, but they are closed on Mondays. Now my regular fillups cost about 5-6$ I spend about 30$ a week to drive about 620 miles. I keep a log, if anyone wants it let me know. J |

Can someone explain why we only pay 86 cents/gge up here in Utah (not that I am complaining)? It has to be either: * Lower NG costs as we are closer to the source * Higher taxes in CA vs. UT * or, greedy suppliers in CA?  What do you folks in CA pay for NG at home? We are at $0.85 per therm up here.

Replying to: xpacific (Oct 28, 2006 6:50 am) For my bill ending in the middle of October, Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) charged me $0.76 per therm for the baseline rate, and $0.94 for the over baseline rate. The baseline rate was applied to the first 14 therms, and the over baseline rate was applied to any therms used beyond the first 14. In the winter months, we are allotted more therms in the baseline rate. SoCalGas offers a lower rate to residential customers with a home CNG refueling appliance. This rate is lower than the baseline rate and applied to all the gas that is consumed at that residence (there is no over baseline rate). I do not qualify for the lower rate because I do not yet have a Phill unit in my home. You can see on my other posts, that I'm working on getting the Orange County Fire Authority plan inspection fee waived or reduced first. |

Replying to: bank1avp (Nov 03, 2006 3:39 pm)  Oh, and we can now get the 50 cent per gge rebate on our Phill useage at home (need to have a separate meter installed and on the other hand we have to pay 18.3 cents/gallon in fuel excise taxes, so we net a credit of $.317/gge).
