I live in hb. Funny thing we have oil rigs all over the city and we still manage to have higher gas than surrounding areas. And they're Chevron rigs. Glad to not have to care about spikes in gas prices when they shut down refineries periodically for "maintenance".

That ridiculous regardless, but is that the prevailing price in the area? I only ask because there's a Chevron around the corner from my neighborhood that is always crazy high compared to other stations in the area. Today it's $5.30/gallon for regular. There's a QT one mile up the road that is $4.74/gallon. ??

Kinda like New River charging $2 more a gallon than all of the rest of Phoenix. Because it’s the last gas station on the way out of Phoenix.

It seemed to be representative of the national brand stations.

I’m surprised it’s not more.

The cost of land and labor on the left coast are super high. Avg income way higher.

If anything, things that cost the same across the country (like cars) are cheap out there. Not sure how dealerships have a profit margin selling cars at the same price as Kansas.

It's not the cost of land. These stations have been there for half a century. The land is paid off. It's the cost of the taxes California imposes.

It must be something to live in California.

It’s everything. Seems California taxes per gallon are only like 60 cents more than the cheaper states and like 10 cents more than the other expensive ones. Doesn’t explain the $2/gallon difference.
