We drove from Idaho to California yesterday on US 97. The last gas station in Oregon before the California border (Worden) had regular for $3.38. The first station in California (Dorris) was almost $1 higher.
But that is always the case. Count on stupid CA to charge $1 more than other states and hide behind the “summer blend” façade.
—”summer blend”
My wife’s Prius and almost every other car see a massive milage drop going to winter blend.
And a most unusual history for this BS.
IIRC a single EPA recording station in Waukegan Il crashed and produced totally bogus readings. The EPA Regs made no provisions for equipment failure.
Chicago’s Mayor Daley fought tooth and nail in court and lost.
And we also now are permanently stuck with vehicle emissions testing.
Yeah when we drive from FL to MO, which we’ve cone more than once, we know what States to fill up in. Going over the Mississippi River, East to West, better fill up before you cross. Buy beer and smokes too.

For about two+ decades we would spend a week or two in Oregone, in Brookings, Medford or Bend.
We filled up in Oregone before we drove back to Californicator land for:
1. Lower price/Gallon
2. Better performance and mileage with Oregone Gas.
3. They filled the tank not me.
Plus the high sales tax, 63 cents i think.
Same on I10. Made the mistake the first time we drove out to see the in-laws when they were snowbirding to not fill up outside of California. Once was enough, we have a set stop now. LOL
