Gas stations expect to stay open in Bay Area amid protests
Bay Area and Northern California drivers may fill up this weekend though pump side politics loom. Bud Dietrich of Orinda Shell said no closings are planned here but petitions may urge dismantling Phase 4 air rules. He noted the California Service Station Association lacks a formal poll and spans many independent dealers. In contrast, Southern California and Nevada dealers plan shutdowns of three days or more to protest price regulations. Dietrich said local dealers aren’t joining those actions, citing prior protests as sufficient.
