San Diego drivers grumble about California gas prices nearing $7 a gallon: ‘$100, $150 a tank’

Published Sep. 29, 2023

Gas prices in California have had a history of being higher than in many other areas of the US, but recently they have risen to well over $6 and even $7 a gallon in some parts.

This far exceeds the current national average of $3.96, per Y-Charts.

The gas price hike has caused many California residents to make hard choices, sometimes having to choose between filling up their tank or buying lunch.

San Diego residents at a local 7-Eleven spoke to FOX News Digital about how rising gas prices, have been affecting their lives.

“Filling this thing up, [it’s] like $130,” said one resident, who explained his full gas typically only lasts him about a week. Another resident, who explained how gas for the roofing company trucks is a “lot of money,” described how he pays between $100-$150 to fill up his gas tank.

Many of the residents who talked to FOX News Digital admitted they have to make conscious choices between paying for gas or spending money on other necessities.

Shutting down oil exploration, drilling, and extraction has predictable consequences. Shutting down building and expanding refineries has predictable consequences. That >$1 per gallon in state taxes and fees doesn't help, either. I've been paying in the mid $5 range; the price in a more remote town like Mendocino must be at least in the $8 per gallon range, if not pushing $10.

It's hard for me to realize the high gas prices some people have to pay. Two weeks ago when I was in Las Vegas, I was shocked to have to pay close to $5.00, when at home in Houston, I pay under $3.00.

Las Vegas probably is not close to the refinery or refineries from which it gets its gasoline.
