$2.13/gal a couple of places in Biloxi.

Couple gas things.

First, the spread on regular and premium here is $1.00 a gallon, $2.50 and $3.50. It has always been 10-15 cents. So I don’t get that.

Second, watched a video on west coast refining. First learned that there isn’t a single refinery in Oregon. They are panicked because both CA and WA have passed zero emissions requirements on refineries that have to be met by 2030. This has already led to 2’closings with more expected. That could lead to gas shortages or even outages in all of rural Oregon.

CP, your inability to think critically and understand why is even more stark.

And in LA, gasbuddy has gas as cheap as $3.47.

Further, AAA has the average price in CA at $4.32.

The highest county average is Mono County at $5.60.

Regardless, odd flex when it’s under $2.00 in Texas.

I've heard that the wide gap in prices for premium is mostly just due to higher costs for the additives it has.

It's not a flex...just pointing out that gas upwards of $7 isn't the norm nor typical. So posting a sign at one gas station is pointless.

And we all know why CA gas costs are more. More taxes and regulations. Most all of which were approved by voters...or at least instituted by officials they elected.

A lot of variances in gas prices from state to state and city to city are due to the number of refineries and your proximity to them. The closer you are, the cheaper your gas is likely to be.

Also Texas only funds <
~65% of its roads budget with usage fees (gas tax, toll registration etc) California is ~89%

I wonder what that dollar value is spread over # of gallons purchased?

Unlike many of y’all I actually lived in California. The difference between gas prices in Southern California and Southern Indiana, where I moved from to Orange County, was about .50 to .60 cents a gallon on average the 5 or 6 years I was there.

I despised the bureaucracy in California. I break out in a cold sweat thinking about trips to the DMV or getting an occupancy permit for one of my new manufacturing operations in the OC. Democrats have screwed up California. If you gave Texas or Florida leadership to the Golden State, I have no doubt the cost of living would go down.

With that being said, it’s disingenuous at best to use the cheapest gas prices in Texas and gas prices from one of the highest in California to do a side by side. That tweet does nothing but make the few in the middle question our motives on the right.

I just checked Gas Buddy.

Gas price closest to my former home in Southern Indiana: $2.84

Gas price closest to my former home in Southern California: $3.64

About .80 cents difference…
