$3.35 Hollywood and yesterday in the valley it was $3.41. All ARCO. If it aint ARCO, it’s higher and a rip-off.
I’m pretty sure Cali sets their own gas standards independent of the EPA and that allowing cheaper/more or less volatility in the summer fuel will be allowable there.
Did not California just add a big tax to a gallon of gasoline?
It’s a CA problem. Here in Springfield Missouri gas is $1.34.

Well, they voted for it.
Nothing.
The problem is caused at a state level so it is up to the people of the state of California to fix it.
Remember the principle of “laissez faire,” you may be young enough to never have heard of it, but I learned about it in school. It means: “Leave the people alone.” And that should pertain to gas prices. Let the market set the price and odds are it will be fair and low when low is appropriate.
It’s for the environment! Anybody who opposes high gas prices are in bed with the evil oil companies. I mean, literally in bed with them.

How much of California’s gas price issues are caused by the EPA, and how much by CARB?
That’s the California Air Resources Board, for those of you in Rio Linda. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Traveled down to Death Valley last week. Saw $3.49 and $3.79 in Bishop, $4.39 and even $4.79 north of there. Granted this is obscure area, but rather high already.
2.28 in East Texas.
Just filled up for $2.47 yesterday on Matthews Drive. Gas will more expensive next week when the PGA rolls into town and brings tens of thousands of spectators. But this is a reasonable price. WTF is with California? $4 per gallon was the breaking point back in the ‘07 financial crisis.
Jim Robinson and a lot of other Freepers I know live in Cali. Is there any possible way to ask for help from the federal government to defend that state from foreign invasion? I mean someway to invoke a state of emergency and make it official? Isn’t there a clause that when a state is under attack by a foreign entity or even under attack the feds take that state over? I’m just asking because then that would give the fed government the right to arrest the politicians in Cali for treason.
Remember when Obama said gas prices going up was a good thing? Let’s see how the Democrats take it this this time.
Well, they do like a lot of aspects of Europe. Guess they will embrace this one too.
Yup, just paid $3.89 a gallon at the Chevron station on the way to the VA last Monday. That is for premium for the Volvo V-50 with the T-5.
$2.49 in Ft. Lauderdale
That’s largely because of two things. A) California’s special blends that always drive up prices and B) all the taxes Calufornia imposes on gasoline.
Five years ago when I left the state for good gas was running right at $4.50 a gallon
By the time I got to the north woods I was paying right at $2.00
