Gas in Los Angeles is $5.40 a gallon

This morning I went to buy gas in Los Angeles. The price at the pump per gallon was as follows:

Unleaded ... $5.3999

Plus ... $5.4999

Premium ... $5.5999

Yet some people here are complaining about gas in their states being $3.50 or $3.60.

I have a FB friend in northern Japan, who said that gasoline prices jumped over $1 a gallon overnight, to somewhere around $7 a gallon.

[rktman]

$4.98 some places in Reno.

Not me. I’m complaining that it’s $3.19 here in Texas

Discount gas, like Costco, went from right at $2 a gallon to $3.30 over the last 2 months here in the front range of Colorado, most of that in the last week.

Even $5 gas wouldnt change my vote in November, but the raising gas price is going to be the talking point on MSM for as long as they can milk it.

I understand a large percentage of the price in CA is the state gas tax.

[napscoordinator]

$3.79 in central Florida. Fun!

[Pol-92064]

That is cheap! In my rural CA town the gas is $6.19 per gallon. That includes the total taxes of $1.50.

[Tell It Right]

Agreed. And when the price of gas goes down, blue states like California will raise gas taxes to keep the prices high, and still blame Trump years later.

[Angelino97]

I’m sure taxes add much to the price. But even so, gas was under $4 a few months ago.

Is there a plausible way you can blame Israel and Jews?

I moved to Denton two weeks ago. The price in Hickory Creek was $2.49 my first day here, yesterday it was $3.19; I've been working from home today so I don't know if it went higher. I still remember $4.59 gas 20 years ago, when the dollar was worth more, so if this is what it takes to crush jihadism, I'm all for it.

[Theoria]

Sounds right, they have to import all their oil and its priced in dollars.

[V_TWIN]

Still in the $2.70s where I am.

[Signalman]

Was this the gas station on the corner of Beverly and LA Cienega? The prices there are always way high, even before the gas crisis.

[napscoordinator]

Of course. We had the “I did this” Biden stickers all over the place on gas pumps. So far, I haven’t seen any for trump. Hopefully, we won’t.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Excellent. I wonder how those morons are feeling now about destroying their Teslas. ROTFL! They look like a bunch of retarded chimpanzees.

[Bob Wills is still the king]

There’s already discussion among oil analysts that the price of oil could easily hit $200 a barrel. That would translate into something like $10 a gallon gas at the pump if this continues.

[MotorCityBuck]

I don't care. I work from home. LOL!
