This city just recorded the U.S.’s highest-ever average gasoline price

Prices for gasoline in one of nation’s major cities reached an all-time on Thursday— the highest average price ever recorded in the United States, according to fuel savings platform GasBuddy.

Average prices for the fuel in the San Francisco metro area reached a new all-time high of $4.75 a gallon, breaching the previous record of $4.743 that was set in 2012, GasBuddy reported Thursday.

“The Bay Area just recorded the nation’s highest ever average price of gasoline in the United States,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysts at GasBuddy. “Thanks to myriad challenges, derived from the COVID-19 pandemic, the average fillup now costs motorists in the Bay Area nearly $62.”

That’s a nearly 65% premium to the average price in the cheapest U.S. city, Lawton, Oka., where the average is at $2.86 a gallon, he said................

Gas is more expensive in California because only a few refineries produce the gasoline blend required by California state law.

If the United State adopted a single, year-round, national gasoline blend, it would eliminate the price biannual spikes in gas prices caused by switching between Winter and Summer blends, reduce supply constraints caused by requiring regional blends.

The problem is that we are no longer energy independent as we were under Trump.  Let's Go Brandon!!!

Precisely. @DefiantMassRINO hit one of the nails on the head. Another "nail" is that CA's cumulative taxes on gasoline is among the highest in the nation. While gas has gone up a dollar per gallon or so since the beginning of the year, courtesy of LIEden, similar price increases have happened in many other states.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Energy prices have a long way to go.  I see $10 a gallon coming to a neighborhood near you.

But hey, Biden has done so many things to solve all the problems created by Trump.  This is what the Idiocracy keeps spewing.

God has forsaken this nation.  Clearly so!!

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
