Contra Costa County’s average price is $5.89 a gallon.

Let’s Go SM! In fact, Let’s Go Becton!
@SM
Definitely!
It is funny (not really), but I heard over and over about the Carter economy and how crappy everyone felt, rough times, etc. I was but a wee lad, so did not experience, and to be honest, never thought I would. Now, under the current imbecile, we are seeing the most expensive gas ever (and to mitigate, he pulls leases on the largest fields, that ought to help), empty shelves, record level spending leading to record level inflation, rampant invasion across our southern border and the government actually hostile toward the American citizen, all led by an incoherent, mentally incapacitated career buffoon.
There are four things we as humans here in the U.S. absolutely need, oxygen, water, food and gas.
I did that!
Biden did that!
Electric car’s?
Try plugging them in when the power goes off this summer.
Brilliant comment.
Just paid 599 9/10 yesterday. Never understood the whole 9/10 bologna.
It goes back to the 1930’s when the feds added .01 cent tax on gasoline. Today, it’s a marketing ploy to make the price appear cheaper. It may not seem like much, but that 1/10th of a cent that we don’t get back can add up. Twenty gallons of gas costs us an extra 20 cents. Most people fill up at least once a week, so that’s 20 cents times 52 weeks, which is $10.40 a year. Considering the millions of cars and trucks filling their tanks every day in America, it adds up to over $430 billion a year for the gasoline industry.
I’m with you!! That 9/10 thing is SO SO STUPID!! Just get rid of the 9/10 and be honest about the price!!
Biden did that!
Electric cars ?
Try charging them when the power goes out this summer.
This is so unconscienable what the state and Newsom is doing to us. I agree when the power grid goes down oh well electric car owners-better get your horse or donkey ready to ride. Oh, how appropo that the symbol for the Democratic party is a jackass.
Newsom as well as Biden should revoke and repeal all of these unnecessary taxes as we are all drowning in their BS of over taxation. Screw the high cost of over taxing us for gas in California. Politicians do not give a dam about us the sleps who are being driven to desperation. But the socialists keep allowing immigration to blow us up as well as all of their freebee programs.
Get smart voters and stop voting in these blood suckers. Sorry if this offends anyone but your pocketbook is screaming for survival.
I saw $6.19 on a local chain station.
Unless something changes, $7 a gallon is not that far away.
That’ll cripple the economy.
Newscum could remove the state gas tax … o wait, he would not want to do that … how else would he pay for his State of Emergency Cabo trip.
+1 … and where is the $200 / $400 “inflation help” check we were supposed to get?
The TDS Liberal brainwashed can actually reason this out, blaming Russia, Ukraine, and literally anyone other than the guy at the podium displaying elder abuse to Americans that do not have the HUA syndrome.
Spell it out to them in kindergarten terms – “When the cat’s away, this mice will play”
The ship has no captain, so everyone has free reign to do whatever they want, charge whatever they want, and go to war with whoever they want.
When gas goes up so does everything else!🤦🏼♀️
Traitor Joe doesn’t even know where his pants are, DEMOCRATS AND OLIGARCHS DID IT!
“Under my energy plan, fuel prices would necessarily skyrocket.”
obama
People who keep voting for these stupid “leaders” deserve this. I hope the gas goes to $10 a gallon. People will never learn.
From my perspective I pay a whole lot more in state income tax than I do in gas or sales tax. I would much prefer that income taxes go down to about 3-4% and sales tax go to about 17%. Also don’t mind the higher gas tax (tax per mile driven would be better than a gas tax) Why? because everyone in this scheme are more or less equal. Illegal aliens, people working for cash skirting the law would all pay. But alas, this would get screwed up as well. The great CA demo gov’t would find a way to give crap out for free. Time for a martini. Slightly dry.
I love it when Joey calls me an Ultra MAGA. If you can go to hell for lying I know where Joey is going.
$4.00 a gallon for regular gas at Kroger today in a state that doesn’t even have a refinery. Put that in your Biden crack pipe and smoke it! I will admit that real 92 Octane with no Ethanol (used for riding mowers and boats) is going to cost you more, but still less than anything in Kleptofornica.
The next trick will be change for gallons to liters to make it look like a deal. Too many people have no concept of how much a liter is compared to a gallon.
3.78 liters to a gallon.
They did that in the 70’s during the oil embargo, and it didn’t go over so well. Americans don’t like the metric system.
Back when gas first went over $1/gallon, most gas stations were unprepared and had pumps that only went to $.999/gallon. Most stations reset the pump to charge by the half-gallon, but Amoco did start selling gas by the liter. But when they got new pumps the switched back to gallons. I always thought that was an opportunity lost.

“I did that” – Joe Biden
.
And thanks to the liberals and Newsom for the 52-cent per gallon gas tax.
.
Remember this next election to vote out all Democrats. All they do is increase our cost of living through taxs in all areas. There miss management and taxation is why our gas is so high here. But it doesn’t affect them since they are living off of our dime at our own expense
Unfortunately, stupid I’d forever in California.
*is
Apple autocorrect is stupid also, Lol
…and a campaign promise by Newsom was to get under the gouging by big oil and bring Cali prices inline with the rest of the country… yeah right… another broken promise … like stopping the high speed rail to no where… and why not use our $86 Billion tax surplus to build more desalination plants and rain water retention facilities? instead of his pet projects….

According to the American Petroleum Institute, we have enough oil in
North America to fuel every single passenger car and long-haul truck
for the next 430 years.
We have enough natural gas to provide electricity for every business and household for the next 535 years and enough coal to provide electricity for about 500 years.
So, don’t you think that in 430 years we will have developed alternative fuel
sources?
Traitor Joe sacrificed American energy independence, ceased all exploration for oil and gas, abandoned pipeline development and drove up prices of gasoline, heating oil, and jet fuel and made us once again dependent on foreign oil?
Of course we can’t really blame Traitor Joe……he gets lost in a closet. That was the plan from the beginning; transfer the wealth to oligarchs, while tossing a few bones to the ignorant masses, and place the blame on a demented, bigoted, racist, who no one really likes outside of the Biden Crime Family.
Pretty soon, you’ll have to become a millionaire to buy a car, let alone drive it.
I have to run the premium grade fuel in My dodge durango r/t 5.9.I’ve been paying over 6 for a few months now. It makes You think twice about taking that extra trip down town,or punching it to hear Your pipes roll like thunder once in awhile. I love My truck I’ve had it for 9 years and it runs great. But with all this extra surplus cash the state has to bad they wouldn’t have Me retire the big 5.9 mass pollution factory on wheels & replace it for Me with an electric car. I know they have some kind of a buy back program at registration time but I couldn’t find anything as a replacement for 1200 or 1500 . So since I’m poor and getting old Ill continue to drive it until the wheels fall off or I die which ever comes 1st
Who could have predicted that as we exhaust the finite supply of a resource that the price for that resource would go up? Especially since the extraction, distillation, and sale of it is basically controlled by a government allowed cartel. Absolutely unsurprising outcome that price has increased year on year. Sell your car and get a bus pass and you will be happier for it!
And the buses run on…..what?
Fairy dust and rainbows?
@Glen223 Well most of the County Connection fleet to my knowledge runs on liquefied natural gas, though I’m more of a fan of the electric trolley buses over in San Francisco. They are honestly pretty nifty. And far more efficient then an electric car per kilowatt hour. But I’ll bite, even if you have a petroleum powered bus, you ever seen a bus at a gas station? No because transit districts buy their gas at wholesale, which is cheaper then at the pump so haha even when I use gas it’s cheaper.
