Gas prices leap to nearly $10 a gallon at California station after smashing record highs nationally amid Bidenflation

Gas prices have surged to nearly $10 a gallon in parts of California as costs continue to climb amid unprecedented inflation.

Overnight Friday, gas prices hit a national average of $4.76, according to AAA - an increase of nearly 20 cents in the span of a week.

Along the US West Coast, the pain at the pump is even worse, with Californians now seeing an also previously unseen average of $6.24 cents. The state saw gas costs surpass the $6 mark for the first time in history over the weekend.

With that said, some parts of the Golden State have been more afflicted by the fuel cost crisis more than others, with one station in Mendocino, along the California coast, recording prices just cents away from $10 - the highest ever in history.

The station, Schlafer’s Auto Repair, is just one of tens of thousands of stations that has seen its gasoline costs soar to astronomical heights during the Biden administration.

Those filling up in states like California and have been particularly affected by the rising costs, with the state's national average having surged by more than $2 in the span of a year.

Breaking down the current rates by city, the average price of a gallon of gas in San Francisco will run motorists $6.50, whereas in San Jose drivers will have to shell out $6.38 per gallon. In Oakland, gas costs a hefty $6.37 a gallon, and Los Angeles, $6.26.

The figures all come as at least $2 more than costs seen in those cities at this time last year. The raising rates come despite recent efforts from the The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to ramp up oil output to refuel the country's refineries - whose stock has reached crisis levels in recent weeks.

We have a terminal in Fontana CA for the account I do logistics for.

Almost all of the carriers I work with refuse to go into CA without getting paid well above their contracted rates.

South Central Pennsylvania just broke the $5.00 threshold with Weis Markets hitting $5.05.

Allegedly “softened” by reward points allowing for $0.10 to $1.00/gallon for up to 20 gallons.

So, Biden’s big speech yesterday evening was an EPIC FAIL.

He will be back to blaming the greedy ole oil companies soon, because blaming Putin just isn’t catching on.

Maybe by Sunday evening Team Biden will stitch together focus group to come up with a lollipops and roses speech to try to convince the public that things aren’t so bad — just your lying eyes and ears are deceiving you from Biden’s greatness.

Where is the united front of “Republicans” hammering this fake president EVERY SINGLE MINUTE.

This target rich environment is without compare, yet we hear crickets from “our side”.

Hmm... maybe people will wake up and realize they’re not on our side?

Bueller? Bueller??

Are the RINO’s that escorted him to Victory ever going to actually turn on him?

It seems he should be 50 pts behind in the polls.

Just think how much lower our gas prices would be if Russia were instead permitted to sell its oil on the world’s markets. Oh well, I guess this is how we ‘stick it to Putin’. I guess.

That’s where I am.

This guy is plainly incompetent and like a bad Grandpa movie.

Why isn’t cable TV littered with some of the 250 Elected Republicans pointing out the obvious to the Public?

Holy heck. He should be 50 pts behind in one on one matchups.

We are in food distribution of agri-products. I am not interested in shipping to CA either. Far too much trouble in all logistics, and buyers there act like its 2009

So far I don't believe he's tried that old favorite expression, "peak oil." I guess he must have forgotten.

Higher food prices

Thanks, Democrats. Gas was over half less under President Trump.

Food was cheaper.
