Drivers in the Golden State are continuing to pay more at the pump than in any other state. The average price per gallon in California is now $4.84, up five cents since last week, and almost 40 cents since last month. The cause is due to ongoing repairs and maintenance at many California refineries, and production of summer blend gasoline. Bay Area refining capacity is now half of its 2019 levels. Across the country, most drivers saw few changes at the pump this past week, as the national average for a gallon of gas remained steady at $3.16, 4 cents higher than a month ago but 11 cents lower than a year ago.
Average Fuel Prices Around the State:
- Contra Costa County: $5.06
- San Francisco: $5.15
- Oakland: $5.04
- San Jose: $5.00
- Sacramento: $5.00
- Fresno: $4.84
- Stockton: $4.86
The nation’s top 10 most expensive gasoline markets are California ($4.84), Hawaii ($4.55), Washington ($4.14), Nevada ($3.87), Oregon ($3.77), Alaska ($3.45), Arizona ($3.41), Pennsylvania ($3.36), Illinois ($3.27), and Washington, DC ($3.25). The nation’s top 10 least expensive gasoline markets are Mississippi ($2.67), Louisiana ($2.75), Tennessee ($2.76), Texas ($2.76), Oklahoma ($2.78), Kentucky ($2.78), Alabama ($2.79), Arkansas ($2.82), Kansas ($2.83), and Missouri ($2.84).
Amazing, since the refineries are so close!
That was a good way to say it … somebody sneezes at a refinery and the price of gas goes up 10 cents / gal ….. but let the price of oil go down $20 / barrel we’ll be lucky to see any reduction at the pump … another Newscum broken campaign promise – he said he’s get under the price gouging by big oil many times in his speeches and bring Calif in parity with other states – yeah right … and people still voted against the recall and voted him in for another term …
Keep electing self-serving politicians, and prices will continue to rise.
I just wonder what Elon would find if he audited California’s government.
I guess that CA would make DC look like a kindergarten.
Greasy Gav needs to be impeached NOW!
Funny how this was Biden’s fault when he was in office, but it’s Newsome’s fault now that Trump is in office. Come on Trump, where are the lower gas prices you promised?
The lower prices are everywhere that isn’t California.
@Joatmeal
It’s still the sniffing pedo creep’s fault, but not to worry…..Trump took action against this on his first day back. But what is actually funny is that you’re asking Trump where the lower prices are, only after one month in office, and didn’t ask the sniffing creep for four years.
No. During the Biden Syndicate, that cute as a button Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm assured us they were “The Putin Price Hikes”. Under Oath!
And while Newsom and Putin share political similarities, since California is the leading nation-state in fuel prices, I’ll choose Newsom for the win!
When rest of country has cheap prices for fuel because of “drill baby drill”, CA prices will still be high. Crude oil refined in CA, 60% is imported from foreign countries, costs money to bring crude in on ships. Crude is also transported into CA by rail tank cars, again adding costs.

There are NO crude oil pipelines from continental US into California.

In 2001 CA crude percentage was 49.6% and imported foreign oil was 29.3%.
In 2023 CA crude percentage was 23.4% and imported foreign oil was 60.7%.
Seeing a pattern yet ? ? ?

As long as democrats control CA, state legislature and executive branch,
YOU ARE TOTALLY SCREWED.
Remember when we told you, and you scoffed, that if the Biden crime family came into power, gas would be $7? We were wrong, so I’ll admit it. It actually hit upwards of $9 in parts of our state.
Under Trump’s first term, we became exporters of energy for the first time in 75 years. That is not debatable, that is hard fact. What we’ve witnessed in just one month in office has been nothing more than breathtaking. California has been a hub for corruption, good ole boy networking, back door contracts, and the list goes on. Give it a few more minutes until Gavin and Auntie are fully exposed, and a new state will emerge of the people, for the people. The bullets are flying, and the can’t DOGE them all 😉
