Yo, California, you doing okay out there?
Just checking.
The rest of us? We're doing pretty okay, but you're giving us a great preview of what it will look like when we get that Green New Deal at the federal level, with your outrageous taxes on gasoline.
Los Angeles County drivers have been experiencing more pain at the pump recently as gas prices have surged past $6 per gallon this week.
As of Tuesday, the average price for a gallon of gas in L.A. County had reached $6.03, according to AAA. Ventura County's average price sits at $6.00 per gallon and Orange County's at $6.02…
Before leaping to more than $6, the average was $5.62 late last week in the Los Angeles-Long Beach metro area.
The cause of the surge: higher global oil prices, said Auto Club senior public affairs specialist Anlleyn Venegas.
Don't forget the extra dollar per gallon in taxes (approximately). That might have something to do with it.
Maybe, Governor Newsom, you could call up President Biden, tell him to hit you up with some petroleum from the strategic reserve. I bet he'd cut a deal with you if you promise not to run for president in his place next year.
Just an idea.
Anything to bring gas prices down in the great state of California (which everyone seems to be fleeing).
They voted for it
Just sell them some from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Oh wait....
Just sell them some from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Oh wait....
10% for the big guy …..
Apparently white cars abound.
Oh look at all the Climate Cult white cars in the picture
Yeah, wait. The SPR needs to be refilled when oil is $120/bbl. Then it can be used next summer and just prior to the election.
I see a Alpha-Romeo and a Beemer....................
Waiting for the idiots in the Democrat-run CA Legislature to hold hearings to blame “Big Oil” for the high gas prices in the state. It can’t be their extreme environmental regulations that are to blame. No, it can’t be that! Fools!
How soon will it be cheaper to fly than drive ?
“...great preview of what it will look like when we get that Green New Deal at the federal level”
Hardly. Dems want to ban ICE autos and all gasoline. They are quickly moving in that direction.
I’d love to see them run their 2024 campaigns on their real platform:
* Ban fuel. Ban cars. Ban air travel. Ban all energy use.
* Ban gas and diesel farm equipment. Ban fertilizer. Ban food.
* Ban babies. Ban old people. Ban all people.
They are completely, utterly, and hopelessly insane.
You should see the cheap gas prices around the corner where all the black and brown cars go to gas-up.
Sorry, no sympathy or empathy for the fruits & nuts out there. Embrace the suck, you leftist filth.
Democrats run California.
I’m paying close to $5.50/gal for diesel in eastern Washington.
At the Mobil station this morning on my way to work it was 6.49-6.89, I filled my plane with AvGas yesterday and it was 6.54 a gallon. Cheaper to fly
Wow ! I thought Japan was expensive at $ 4.50 a gallon !
Way to go Cali!!! How are you liking the Let’s Go Brandon, FJB and Gruesome Newsom administrations so far?
