Which means that there was regular unleaded gas selling for over $5 a gallon in the more expensive locations (typically rural) in the county at that time.
Remember, San Diego County is larger or at least almost as large in area as the five smallest states in the U.S, and in population density, larger than almost a quarter of the states.
Lots of cars, lots of gas stations.
