California gas prices headed up again... [View all]

I saw $6/gal again tonight...

Pricey station, ritzy part of town but it's still mid-5's elsewhere too...

OPEC has to give a favor to the GOP I guess...

https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-09-21/gas-prices-are-rising-with-los-angeles-average-jumping-8-5-cents-overnight

Los Angeles County’s average gas price rose Wednesday to $5.545 for a gallon of self-service regular, up 8.5 cents from the day before, AAA data show, as refinery problems accelerated increases that began nearly three weeks ago.

Nationwide, a 99-day run of falling gasoline prices — a streak that gave consumers a glimmer of hope that red-hot inflation might be cooling — has ended, with pump prices still much higher than a year ago.
