California Inspectors Are Underpaid

California … the land of paradise. But, it is really the land of paradise for field service inspectors?

I paid $3.19 for regular gasoline today in Fredericksburg, Virgina. Regular gas is $4.35 at the Chevron in Santa Monica,California.

Energy experts predict a 50-cent rise in prices over the next few months as supplies tighten — an annual event as refineries scale back production for maintenance, California converts to the more expensive summer blend of gasoline, more drivers hit the road and oil-exporting countries boost crude prices to around $100 a barrel. California inspectors need to ask for higher fees for field service inspections.

Hawaii inspectors pay higher prices for gasoline and they ask for higher inspection fees. They also get higher inspection fees.
