Reported 6 hours ago from the date/time of the screenshot (which was taken today couple of minutes before posting).

You can play with it yourself: https://www.gasbuddy.com/gasprices/california

Looking at oil rig count and it looks like it is at least 10% below early 2020 levels. Oil producers are looking to maintain the price of gasoline and diesel and avoid another price crash.

Yesterday Regular has dipped below $4 in Bay Area (Hayward specifically).

Danville:

Danville:

Is that high or low for the area? I'll come across as a dick, but I just don't even pay attention to gas prices anymore. Maybe that's their goal. If my fill up is under $150-200 I don't really care with a 24gal tank and V8. Still consistently under $100 even on E here in IL.

You can get a RAV4 hybrid and get 90 miles on electric, for $40k and rarely pay for gas. My mom has one and hasn't put gas in her car in 6 months. You just can't do much with the electric though besides A to B. I have other needs so that will never work. I anticipate in 10 years when I'm 50 I'll be paying $300 per fill up for my same car. I'll have a new one of course.

Aaaaand we're under $3 in SF Bay Area:

It's on the lower end for that paricular area. I don't consider gas prices a life-changing kinda expense either, but many people (with supposedly high-paying jobs and healthy amount of savings) like to profusely whine about them so I'm happy to deliver the good news. =))

Banning Internal Combustion Vehicles Shows Contempt for Rural America

Yes, the whole political battle is elite vs workers now.

... or, in the words of Joseph Stalin: "Nobody is irreplaceable". So take your dirty CCCP oil and shove it, Mr. Pukin.

I saw cheapest gas is $3.71 a gallon in California : https://www.gasbuddy.com/gasprices/california

It is $2.90 in Panama City, FL: https://www.gasbuddy.com/gasprices/florida

Fuck Birdbrain Newsom
...

It's not Newsom.

It's the stupid Liberals that are the majority. They voted in all the current Dem liberals in Sacramento. This is part of their climate change agenda.

Expensive gas is just a part of their "solution" to traffic problems.

In San Diego. Lights take longer and don't make sense anymore. Parking is being taken away, to give way for bike lanes that only the homeless use with stolen rental bikes. The bike lanes are even being imposed in some commercial areas, leaving no parking for restaurant patrons. Etc, etc

And then there's the corruption and misappropriation parts that lead to more taxes being added. The tax money that is supposed to be used for roads, is being used for all the public transportation and bike lane projects, etc. and not for the upkeep and improvement of roads... So they ask for more taxes eventually... AND PEOPLE SWALLOW THEIR BULLSHIT. Unbelievable.

Yes, California is fucked because it went full retard around the early 1990s. When I say Birdbrain Newsom I imply the entire left wing electorate.

I had to redo that one and make it a patrick.net/memes (please share on other sites if you can):

I'd say late 90s, not early. In 94-96 CA still had enough collective brains left to vote for Prop 187, Prop 209 and the one with requirement to use English in public schools.

I commented before on this. Until it costs $300-500/tank to fill up my gas guzzler I really don't care. Outside of random road trips/camping, I fill up twice a month. Wife expenses all her fuel through work. Occasionally we'll throw one of my fill ups in with the expense report. YES, the owner knows and doesn't care before someone gets a stick up their ass. I've done free work for the company, built their original website and helped them up their marketing game. So nothing shady.

I would argue instead of watching gas prices, how do you increase your income? It's like welfare folks bitching about what they make and not looking for better/higher paying jobs. No one cares. You're either a criminal or too lazy. $60k low skill jobs are out there if you're not a dip shit. And if someone thinks you're attractive it's now $120k for a family. You can't make it on that you're an idiot. Life isn't hard to be middle class to upper middle class even without an education.

Hey, the USA is the world’s largest oil producer.

We do export some.

We do import some.

There's a logbook in the vehicle I purchased in 2006 where I've recorded every fuel purchase, going back to the first purchase on May 3, 2006: $3.31 per gallon.

Today I filled up at $4.80 per gallon.

Both purchases along the same stretch of discount stations in East SJ, where I always refuel except on rare long distance trips.

Annualized gasoline price inflation in East SJ since May 3, 2016:

= [ ln (4.8 / 3.31 ) ] / 17.5

= 2.1%.

Filled up at least twice already for $3.99/gal ($3.93 cash price) at a local station. So we're finally under $4.

Too many Californians moved there and screwed things up for the locals. That’s why Californians are hated in almost every state they move to
