Gas prices have been going higher and higher, and now the average price in one California city has officially topped $5 per gallon on average at the pump.
California is nearly always at the top of the list for most expensive gas prices in the U.S., and now the highest reported cost is $5.07 per gallon, KGO-TV reported.
Throughout the San Francisco Bay area, drivers are feeling the price hikes. For the first time in any U.S. city, average prices have crossed the $5 per gallon mark, according to The Mercury News in San Jose.
“We just got a raise, but it doesn’t feel like it. Gas is eating the hell out of it,” Jame Hayes, an iron-worker, told The Mercury News.
While Los Angeles and San Francisco were the first places to go above $5 for gas, all along the West Coast, gas is costing more that $4 per gallon on average, KGO reported.
These price spikes are, in part, a spillover from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Since Russia controls so much of the oil market in the West, particularly Europe, when Russia invaded Ukraine, the market shifted.
Now oil is costing more than $110 per barrel, CNN reported. The entire global oil market is being hit, and even though the U.S. is not directly all that reliant on Russian oil, the overall spike in costs is now hurting Americans at the gas station.

I paid $5.59/gal yesterday. $30 for just over 5 gallons.
Watch by the end of the week, you’re going to see left-wing activist groups pop up and demand that Dems in Congress pass gas subsidies, such as “free” gas cards or vouchers. Naturally, it’ll go to people of color or something (Because we all know high gas prices is racist and is hitting women and minorities the hardest). These groups will call themselves Affordable Transportation Alliance or something.
The Puppet Biden said he wants gas to go to $7-8 a gallon to FORCE you to buy an expensive $50,000 electric car in order to save the planet from global warming.
It’s all planned. Stolen elections have consequences.
And never forget:
the GOP RINO’s in the senate, congress and state houses allowed it to happen
the governor’s of Arizona and Georgia allowed it to happen
the VP Pence allowed it to happen
the supreme court allowed it to happen
This was ALL PLANNED in advance. The globalist want you to die!
In 2008 when oil spiked to 140, you CA drivers weren’t paying above $5?
Most prices are around $4.80 to $5 here in Reno, plus at least one station at $5.69. Thank you Joe.
Or move to the city and ride bikes and loser cruisers (public transportation).
Obozo 2.0
$4.10 at a Tom Thumb station in Warrington, FL yesterday.
My big worry is are there enough digits on the gas pump?
No. Never got higher than $4.50.
The crossing of this threshold of $5 dollar gas is much to the delight of the delusional climate change fanatics that now hold power and make policy within the Biden cabal. These globalists wish to destroy the American fossil fuel industry as a necessary step in destroying the American nation.
“Or move to the city and ride bikes and loser cruisers (public transportation).”
If I’m going to live in a city, it will be in a country where the people running the city don’t look at me as a former slave owner.
“Gas Prices Cross Worrying Threshold, Averaging Over $5 per Gallon for the First Time Ever in a US City”
My life is changed forever by gas going from $4.99 to $5.00.
This is the end of civilization.
Wait, adjusted for inflation it’s not even a new high.
Life is so complicated. The gas is too damn high!
buy them now before there is a shortage
Meanwhile the regime is trying to buy oil from Venezuela. They should call it AMERICAN climate change not global climate change.
Agreed. Everything was planned. From the disastrous stolen election all the way to this Ukraine invasion. All planned. The public doesn’t see what they don’t want to see (and the MSM will never tell you).
Agenda 21 still at work.
Sadly the average American is gullible enough to buy these environmentally unfriendly, government subsidized 'union' made tin cans.
