This Amendment No. 13 is being filed on behalf of Standard General Master Fund L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership ("Standard General Master Fund" or the "Fund"), Standard General L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Standard General"), which serves as the investment manager of Standard General Master Fund and pursuant to an investment management agreement has all investment and voting power with respect to the securities held by Standard General Master Fund, and Mr. Soohyung Kim ("Mr. Kim"), and Mr. Nicholas J. Singer ("Mr. Singer"). Messrs. Kim and Singer have controlling interests in Standard General S Corp., a Delaware corporation, which is the general partner of Standard General Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which is in turn the general partner of Standard General. In addition, Mr. Kim and Mr. Singer serve as co-managing members of Standard General Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is the managing member of Standard General GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is in turn the general partner of Standard General Master Fund. Messrs. Kim and Singer, along with Standard General and Standard General Master Fund, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Reporting Persons".

The agreement among the Reporting Persons to file jointly (the "Joint Filing Agreement") was filed as an exhibit to the Schedule 13D and, pursuant to its terms, is not required to be filed as an exhibit to this Amendment No. 13. This Amendment No. 13 relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of Penn Octane Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company").

Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

On June 13, 2011, the Fund completed the purchase of 2,100,000 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $150,000 from Jerome B. Richter pursuant to a private placement transaction in connection with a stock purchase agreement dated May 31, 2011 between Jerome B. Richter and the Fund.

The Fund purchased such shares with working capital, which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

The shares of the Company to which Amendment No. 13 relates were acquired by the Fund with the purpose of changing control of the Company but without any agreement with any third party to act together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Company.

As the owner of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Fund intends influence material business decisions relating to the future of the Company, including the composition of the board of directors. The Fund will monitor developments at the Company on a continuing basis, and may communicate with members of management, with other shareholders or potential shareholders of the Company, concerning matters relating to the Company.

The Fund may, at any time and from time to time, acquire additional shares of Common Stock or dispose of some or all of its shares, engage in lending, short-selling or hedging or similar transactions with some or all of its shares, or continue to hold its shares, depending on business and market conditions, its continuing evaluation of the business and prospects of the Company, the general investment and trading policies of the Fund, and other factors. The Fund may change its intention at any time with respect to any or all matters referred to in this Item 4.

Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons, Standard General Holdings or Standard General GP have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
