Gas in Los Angeles is $5.40 a gallon
March 12, 2026

Posted on 03/12/2026 7:46:25 AM PDT by Angelino97

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.

Surely you own oil and nat gas stocks to take advantage of this.

Half of all lng carriers all trapped in the Gulf right now. Potus is getting ready to suspend the Jones Act to alleviate transportation concerns.

Ca tax: $1.29 a gallon.

$5.79-$1.29 = $4.50 for just the gas

Colorado: $3.49-.40 tax = $3.09 for just the gas.

Cali getting killed on price AND taxes.

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.

Oil “anals”?? They’re being paid to scare the crap out of everybody.

Think I’ll have a beer....

Not sure where you are getting your figures from. In my part of fly over country the price difference between regular(87) and premium(93) can be close to a dollar at times. Regular is $3.50 a gallon. Not much different from about a year ago.

You’re missing the point. $3.50 is too high. The public has allowed themselves to acceptance and not to question what the politicians have done to them. They then vote them back in to attack another area and watch the political phallus symbols go through a check list of what is important to them and not the people they are supposed protect and defend.

So it’s not the people that are complaining that are not doing their jobs as citizens, it’s the ones that accept their fate and blame other people for their lack of acceptance. The definition of a sheep ready for shearing.

If you're in LA, the price of gas is the least of your problems, and those dumb bastards deserve every thing they voted for.

High gas prices are the least of it, crime, illegals getting every benefit, street rats--human and regular, most corrupt politicians... I could go on but why bother.

I believe a trend exists on blue state gasoline pricing. It like anything else is a weapon to be used for the cause.

President Trump could quickly drop the cost of gasoline by making it illegal for illegal aliens to purchase gas in America and make drivers present a voter I.D. to purchase gas.

We make money, but WE don’t make money. The oil companies make more, and Uncle gets his cut in additional taxes on the increased income. But I pay more for my gas. And things I buy cost more, reflecting shipping costs.

Not a complaint, just an observation. Still better than the best-ever Democrat.

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

We have governor Gruesome who continually raises taxes, formerly had 40 refineries , now has only 6, losing 2 more this month. Not only gas is high but everything else that is delivered , groceries, items at the stores, hardware. He intended to impose a tax on our mileage recently but apparently refused (?) to sign it. Apparently much easier to just continue raising gas tax and other taxes as he is doing. The joy of a one party democratic state.

You work at home and don’t care? Maybe you will when you see all the other prices rising in the stores and cafes? Including water, electricity? Your TV and telephone, because salaries go up or ???

$6.09 for premium in multiple areas of San Diego while I was passing through last night. I don’t remember California getting oil from Iran.
