According to this, that’s based on one gas station in one town. The average cost in California is nowhere near the amount Fox is claiming here

1. The people who live here know better than all of this bullshit.

Our state is on fire 🔥 pretty much all year. It has to change. We have to change.

3. Unfortunately, too many Faux Spews viewers believe this bulls##t.

While visiting a family member, I overheard him reminiscing about the good old days of cheap gas under TFG. I wasn't sure what he was talking about as local gas was $3.25/gallon.

That house has multiple TVs simultaneously blasting selections of Faux, OAN and Newsmax.

5. Gas was briefly under $3.00 a gallon in the pandemic.

Other than that, I can’t remember when gas was under 3.20 ish in California. The northern region of the state tends to be highest at well over 4.00 a gallon consistently. We have special blends utilized in the summer that cost more.

2. Lying assholes.

It is around $4 in LA

[CountAllVotes]

4. It was $4.89/gallon the last time I was out

That was about a week ago.

I don't know how much it is now but diesel was at $5.09!

6. Ouch! $3.13 a gallon in my neighborhood.

7. The gas stations by the SFO airport are usually $1 higher per gallon to rip off car renters

And yesterday I saw one at $ 5.60 a gallon.

I know where the gas station is in Monterey county and it is always expensive. A desperation gas station.

9. Yep, that's the one for feckless drivers who ignored the signs and the maps...

... and were lucky enough to reach the station before they ran out of gas.

California gas has typically been over $4.00 a gallon in recent months. There's a few stations in the Central Valley that are selling it for $3.99 or a few cents less.

In the affluent big cities they can demand a higher price.

The chemistry of California gasoline is tightly regulated to reduce emissions so it's a separate market from much of the nation.

8. Paid $4.53 a gal for premium yesterday at Costco in OC.

10. I paid $4.09 in Sacramento

two days ago at one of the cheaper stations. Most seem at $4.29 or so.

11. Average US price of gas spikes 13 cents per gallon to $3.44 per ABC News

Personally, I paid $4.39 last week. (L.A. area)

Average US price of gas spikes 13 cents per gallon to $3.44

CAMARILLO, Calif. -- The average U.S. price of regular-grade gasoline spiked 13 cents over the past two weeks, to $3.44 per gallon.

The price at the pump is $1.22 higher than a year ago.

Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg of the Lundberg Survey said Sunday the rise comes as the cost of crude oil surges.

Nationwide, the highest average price for regular-grade gas is in the San Francisco Bay Area, at $4.65 per gallon. The lowest average is in Houston, at $2.91 per gallon.

According to the survey, the average price of diesel jumped 14 cents to $3.59 a gallon.
