One gas station in downtown Los Angeles is charging upwards of $8 a gallon for regular gas.
This comes as gas prices continue to rise across California and the U.S. The average price in Los Angeles County rose to a record $6.172 on Tuesday.
However, the Chevron station off Alameda in Downtown LA is charging over $8 a gallon. Many people in the area say the station is price gouging.
In a statement released to FOX 11, Chevron said there are multiple factors that go into the price of a gallon of gasoline, "including some unique ones specific to California."
The company added that the majority of its branded stations in California - including this one - are independently owned. That means each station can charge its own prices.
"In addition to the price of oil, other factors include the competitive conditions in the marketplace, the higher cost to produce gasoline to the specifications required by the California Air Resources Board, costs associated with fuel distribution, local, state and federal taxes, California carbon-compliance costs, recent inflationary pressures, and fixed costs of doing business that are often higher in California relative to other states (e.g., the cost of commercial real estate)," Chevron said.

“One gas station in downtown Los Angeles is charging upwards of $8 a gallon for regular gas.”
Perhaps it should be a little higher for California voters.
Glad it’s in LA.
Stupid should hurt.
I filled up for $4.34 a gallon here in Mobile this morning.
I don't know why this place is charging 8 bucks.
A young, odd jobs type, neighborhood guy said he'd rake my leaves for $25.00 an hour.
I'm done and healthier for raking them myself...even at 78 years of age.
Just started to hit $5/gallon at some places where I am. Today was the change I’ve finally seen some stations at $5.
There is a Chevron here in Reno that has prices dollar or two dollars higher than everybody else in town, gouging the out-of-town visitors from California. Seems to be a Chevron Approach, to overcharge.
I can remember when gas was $5/gal. Seems like only yesterday...
Yes, Chevron and Reno is charging $6.69 a gallon while it’s only $5.49 a gallon nearby at Costco or Sam’s.
I wonder how many pro Biden Bumper Stickers can be seen in that filling station?
Please see my close to 2 week old tagline.
More proof LA is a hell hole.
I don’t know why this place is charging 8 bucks. <<<
Because they can...its called “Free enterprise” ....
This morning, I drove my wife to the HMO clinic for her PT.
We passed 3 stations up to $6.25 per gallon from $5.85, 2-3 weeks ago.
My tagline has a ? for all Freepers.
I was visiting a liberal part of Maryland a couple of months ago. And I was surprised to see some Biden “I did that” stickers on gas pumps. I’m not a big fan of defacing private property. But it was nice to see that at least a few people are waking up.
gasbuddy.com currently has gas in L.A. going for about $5.50/gallon.
I don’t know why this place is charging 8 bucks.
If the station is in the location I think it is, the gas station is the only one for miles around.
Why the guy in the video didn’t put a couple of gallons in the tank then look for another gas station is beyond my comprehension.
Funny or sad? You say that like $4.34 is cheap. (Well, I guess it is compared to $8.00.)

Just the price you have to pay for the “transition” to green y’all voted for.😀
