Hey Gringo! Gas Hits $7.59 for Regular and $8.50 for Premium

GORDA, Calif. (KABC) -- Gas keeps getting more and more expensive, especially in California. But perhaps nowhere is it pricier than the remote central coast community of Gorda.

The town's only gas station is offering regular unleaded for $7.59. Premium is nearly $8.50.


The town has long been known for having some of the highest prices in the country. A sign at the gas station notes the next nearest station is 40 miles away to the north and 12 miles to the south.

Gorda is located along the Big Sur coast, about 40 minutes north of San Simeon.

THANK YOU JOE BIDEN!!!

LETS GO WALTER

Aren’t state gas taxes a California thing?

Saw your boy Newsome is pretty much outlawing the internal combustion engine by Governors decree. Like he just woke up one morning and outlawed gas lawn mowers. What kind of government is that? Shouldn’t there be a vote or something?

I guess Newsome knows what’s best

Generators will be illegal in 2024. Given California brownouts and all that …. Lol.

Yeah, just read the story. California is $4.59 which is still 50% higher than what I pay and I don’t exactly live in a bastion of conservative thought.

California is fucked up.

Crude oil prices dipped below zero last year. Now $83 You think BTC was a good gamble?

It has zero to do with Biden.

You’re a lawyer, right? I hope you’re a good lawyer because you’re not a very good economist.

I agree at this point it has a lot to do with Mr Biden. He cancelled the big pipe line and made inflation worse, no? Are these the highest prices since 2008?

No

The printing presses started in early 2020.


That incomprehensible avalanche of money is working it’s way down through the economy. Oil is just another commodity. Of course, supply chain issues but let the economy address that not Central Government. Things got fucked up enough with the Fed.

Biden needs to stay out of it.

Whether gas goes to $10 or a $1, I think all Americans realize Biden is completely senile. I have no idea who is running the country, but I agree with the strategy of hiding him in his room, he is a fucking senile old coot and an embarrassment.

Every single thread ends in Covid or Biden but if that’s your wish ….

I skimmed a story that compared th total number of interviews recent Presidents Obama, Trump and now Biden have held with the press. Biden had maybe 10 so far as I recall - far fewer than any of the others.

Pretty discouraging concrete confirmation that he is being “managed”.

If you don't think the guy is senile, that is up to you. I see a bumbling idiot. But he is 80 and way past his life expectancy so its not his fault. But he is clearly senile which is why his whole life every day is scripted. The issue I have is even before he was senile he was widely joked by many in the Senate as extremely dumb. So you have senility on a dumb person which is the max on the Richter scale and far as a loon. Like I said, I am glad he is relegated to his room most days, it helps the psyche of the country knowing we don't have to see a weekend and bernies incarnation everyday.

How much does gas cost in Antarctica? I imagine its pretty expensive, shipping and whatnot. Blame that on Biden?

It takes a lot of money to get anything to remote areas.

Reread these highlighted sentences. Sometimes I confuse you with the Garret - the guy with a head injury.

I am not glad he is being relegated to his room. There is some serious international shit happening that will not be easily turned corrected. Frankly, I see conflict. Our diplomatic relations with China is an absolute failure.

We need a leader to represent us internationally and stay the fuck out of our economy.

You know how to rectify this failure with China? Have the House begin a third impeachment on Trump.

Anyone reacting to gas prices as an indictment on whomever is president is a fucking moron cuck puppet with zero understanding of things.

The president can do things that can effect gas prices…but barely.

Bought gas today, it was $2.93

How would impeaching Trump do anything? Better yet, do you really think you are being ironic or remotely funny?

Put down the crack pipe.

And your even worse Walter. What the fuck did you lefties think was gonna happen we had energy independence under Trump. First day in office that senile fucker shuts down the keystone pipeline among other projects and is now repeatedly sucking OPECs dick to pump more oil and they’re laughing at his ass. Higher fuel prices are the leading drive of the inflation even the media can’t fucking ignore anymore and is now upsetting poor Jen Psaki bombs because it’s not just Peter Doocy on her ass about Biden’s failings. Increase fuel costs cause all prices to go up because well hey shit has to get from point A to Point B. I saw premium at $4.00 here in AZ the other day. Fuck Joe Biden and his bullshyt.

Inflation is due to supply chain disruption.

The pipeline wouldn’t have come online for years.

All incorrect, but if it makes you feel better to repeat stuff you heard on Fox News, good for you.

Explain that thought, please.

While explaining it, see if you can not bring it back to the real reason of inflation, which is our government just printing and handing out money like mad to anyone with a pulse....cause, covid and shit.

Perhaps you don’t understand the concept of a captive audience. The federal government has minimal influence on the price of gas and those changes in policy have no affect in the short term. You could try to learn something, but Forbes is probably too liberal for your taste.

It’s like trying to explain calculus to a pig with these people

As high as $5.89 for Reg Unleaded on both sides of the border in Tahoe.

Regardless of who to blame, it’s fucking crazy.

Wrong. Being a deadbeat dad is an embarrassment. Biden is not senile.

Biden is senile, and the printing presses helped cause inflation. Not sure why you think everyone here is wrong but you, that’s a really hilarious gimmick tho.

You are talking to Walter, a man that posted 8 (eight) times on this very page. Not the thread or forum, but 8 (eight) times in this page. He is an obsessive weirdo.

Gas prices are a bit complicated to understand, because there is so much variance within the US, which occurs for a variety of reasons:

- State taxes
- Local taxes
- State environmental requirements
- Remoteness (difficulty to receive supply)
- Opportunistic gouging

The federal government does indeed have some influence on the prices, but only the base prices, and only to a certain extent. Of course, foreign oil prices are what drive a lot of the prices up and down.

However, that's not to let states like California off the hook. They've got a terrible 1-2 punch of high state/local taxes AND crippling environmental regulations which cause higher production costs (which is then passed onto consumers).

A big problem is that California believes it can extract tons of extra money out of gas tax when prices are low, and then the state becomes addicted to the money and can't remove the tax when prices get high. So we end up with situations like right now.

You also shouldn't be too worried by shock pictures of super high prices, as these tend to be at certain outlier stations which set prices outrageously high because people will still pay it. This includes remote or semi-remote tourist destinations, wealthy neighborhoods where the clientele doesn't care that much, etc.

I recommend getting the GasBuddy app, and you can see prices in your area, and find the best stations to frequent.

I mean, not to sound above the commoner, but how fucking poor do you have to be to have an app on your phone to save a dime a gallon? By the time you drove across town you already wasted your profits. Not to mention your time, but if you are hunting for a dime a gallon discount you probably don't give a shit. Funny thing is you know these gas hunters go right into the convenience store and buy a hot dog or a pizza slice.

But Trump is a crazy, insane maniac.

Trump has spent a lot more cash last year than Biden will spend this year.

Trump stimulus at least $1800 per person
Biden stimulus at least $1400 per person

Biden can't get anything through Congress.

Senators Sinema and Manchin won't cooperate.

Debt ceiling will not be increased.
Mitch McConnell says no.

December 3rd 2021 the U.S. government will shutdown again.

Buy Crypto.
