Heading into the holiday weekend, Californians are paying the highest price ever per gallon of gas for this time of year — $4.39 for regular, according to the Auto Club of Southern California. That price has remained unchanged over the last week. A year ago, the statewide average was $3.24 a gallon for regular.
The national average price is $3.18 per gallon, up from $2.23 per gallon a year ago, according to the Auto Club.
Gasoline prices have been on the rise all summer in response to unusually high demand, Auto Club spokesman Jeffrey Spring said. For the summer travel season, the Auto Club had projected in May a sharp increase in overnight road trips that included hotels stays, compared with the prior two years. The projection was based on an increase in requests — as much as 1,474% higher — for customized vacation route maps offered to Auto Club members.
In California, gas prices usually begin to drop in late August as the summer travel season ends. But Spring said demand has remained strong, keeping prices from falling. Prices, he said, will eventually drop over the next several weeks as the travel season ends and Southern California gas stations switch in late October to a new less-expensive blend of gasoline.

I saw $4.79 in San Diego yesterday.
” a new less-expensive blend of gasoline.”
Calif gas was always garbage, can only imagine how crappy this is.
And if CA keeps Gavin the Girl, they’ll have no gas and no electricity. This fulfills the not a joke question an answer: “What do liberals use after electricity? Candles.”
It has Brawndo.
They’ll celebrate by keeping Gavin Newsom
Yay California! Number 1!!! Wooo Hooo!!!!!
Yes, the Biden & Harris gas price increase. Here in Reno it ranges from about $3.89 at Costco to over $5.09 near the casinos.
“Welcome to California, I love you”
Good! That is what they get for putting a son of a Bitch like Biden in the Whit House.
Californians do seem to embrace anything that cost them more money especially corrupt and wasteful politicians
Yea I lost an engine on the crap fuel the call premium in CA
“$2.23 a year ago”
Need “Miss me yet?” Trump photo
Too expensive to drive to the voting precincts, so vote by mail!
But to quote Bai Din, “Just think how high the prices would be if that other guy was still President.”
$4.69 to $4.35 today and expected to add a nickel per gallon for the weekend and holiday.
here in poor central rural Tennessee it’s $2.89, up from $1.69 in January.
Spend the Labor Day Weekend in Nevada. Don’t come to Arizona, we haven’t any gas left, really! Cross my heart!
What I would love to see is if on the first day of absentee and mail in ballot authorization that a different format, paper stock, watermark, and ink is used unannounced. Watch the whole of the democrat party explode trying to cover their tracks and get cloned forgery printing on-line.
No need to mail it in. Just visualize your vote. California psychics are already receiving.
