They are much below $3 here

$4.50 for 89 grade around my hood in Tri Valley.

$3 would be a steal in SoCal

I'd have to spend too much gas to get to "below $3" gas, if you catch my drift....

Can't you Californians drive down to Mexico to gas up?

SD dudes can, theoretically. The line at the border is several hours though.

The situation is the worst in North Carolina, where about 28% of stations were out as of late Wednesday according to GasBuddy. About 18% of stations in Georgia, and 17% in Virginia were out, while 16% in South Carolina, 5% in Florida, 4% in Maryland, 4% in Tennessee and 2% in Alabama were down.

Are there "price-gauging" laws and are they just keeping the price low at the expense that now you pay with hours of waiting?

I assume this'll blow over in a few days, but you south-eastern citizens have it easy compared to our $4+ special-blend California gas.

I paid $3.499 today for 87 octane at Gas And Shop at the corner of McKee and 33rd Streets in SJ, about 500 feet from the 101 / McKee interchange. Moe's across the street was same price.

For reference, I paid $3.319 at that location on May 15, 2006; $0.18 less. Fifteen years ago. But the People's Republic of California gasoline tax was lower in 2006 than it is now.

Because fracking was in its infancy then, duh.

Yep.

Technology development is deflationary. Fracking, Moore's Law, A.I., etc.

I don't advocate Marxism, but he's been proven right on that point.

Did he really make this argument?
