The town has long been known for having some of the highest prices in the country. A sign at the gas station notes the next nearest station is 40 miles away to the north and 12 miles to the south.
Gorda is located along the Big Sur coast, about 40 minutes north of San Simeon.

I’ve been to this market tourist store. Its all done in dark brown redwood, even the pump island in front.
I remember stopping in that town in the 1970’s while driving up the coast from L.A. to San Francisco with my patents and sister on Highway 1.
The whole town was one home and a mini-mart with a gas station.
Lookin sharp California!
Uh, make that PARENTS, not “patents.” LOL
“A sign at the gas station notes the next nearest station is 40 miles away to the north and 12 miles to the south.”
I’d charge more given those circumstances.
Well California, you voted for it (or maybe you actually didn’t - no way to know who really “wins” elections anymore...).
I wonder what break even is for CA lyft and Uber drivers?

Retarded story.
It’s always that expensive and more.
Last year I drove from Gilroy to Cambria to get some chicken at my favorite restaurant Robin’s in Cambria.
Yeah, it’s a long azz drive but, I love the place.
Wasn’t paying attention and needed gas.
Stopped in for gas and it was a bit over $8 a gallon BECAUSE IT IS IN A REMOTE LOCATION and it was another hour to Cambria.
Didn’t feel like hitch hiking for gas either.
They have really good lemon bars and sandwiches there as well and yes, they cost way more than everywhere else....
Views of the Pacific Ocean are stunning.
Great stop on my Hwy 1 drive...
Pretty sure I stopped at this exact place on a trip from SF to Big Sur. I almost ran out of gas (as there kept being NO stations across the route), but luckily was able to stop at this station before my tank ran dry. It was a sight for sore eyes. Even then (back in 2005) the gas was very expensive, but was estatic to get a fill-up that it almost did not matter.
Let’s go Brandon
40 miles north there are least 5 gas stations charging normal $4.50/gal prices.
I was going to say, you must be a prolific inventor if you needed to load them all in the car trunk :) Either that or overly protective and concerned about leaving them home.
Thanks Biden, Rats and RINOS.
I googled ‘most expensive gas in California’.
Got a station in Fresno at $4.90.
This place is so out of the way they don’t know about it.
California has a long history of ripping off tourist who are dumb enough to visit. This is nothing new.
Back in the 80’s there was a sign on a road in South Texas just south of Corpus Christi. It warned driver not to pass that point without at least a 1/2 a tank. They weren’t kidding.
People heading south would have filled up in Monterrey or Carmel. They are probably catching the ones from LA going north who are getting scared they wont it to those.
Best to be aware and fill up before setting out. Otherwise Hwy 1 robbery!
