Retail gasoline prices in California decline from recent highs (10/30/2019)

On October 7, 2019, average California regular retail gasoline prices surpassed $4 per gallon (gal) for only the second time since 2014. The last time prices reached this level was in May 2019 as a result of planned and unplanned refinery outages in California. Crude oil prices are generally the primary driver of gasoline prices. However, California’s petroleum markets are isolated from the rest of the United States because of its lack of petroleum infrastructure connections to the rest of the country, so unplanned refinery outages in the state can have larger price impacts there than in other areas of the country.

The Stages Of A Scam

1. Foundation Work: This is the preparations which are made before the scam is put in motion, including the elaboration of the plan, the employment of assistants and so forth.

2. Approach: Is the manner of getting in touch with the scammers victim — often most elaborately and carefully prepared.

3. Build Up: Rousing and sustaining the interest of the victim, rousing his emotions, showing him the chance of profit and filling him so full of anticipation and cupidity that his judgment is warped and his caution thrown away.

4. Pay-off or Convincer: An actual or apparent paying of money by the conspirators to convince the victim and settle doubts by a cash demonstration.

5. The Hurrah: This is like the dénouement in a play and no scam or con scheme is complete without it. It is a sudden crisis or unexpected development by which the victim is pushed over the last doubt or obstacle and forced to act. Once the hurrah is sprung the victim is clay in the scammer's hands or there is no game.

6. The In-and-In: This is the point in a scam act where the conspirator may put some of his money into the deal with that of the victim; first, to remove the last doubt that may tarry in the gull's mind.
