California is all about market forces. It's like saying why is the cost of living so high in San Fran? Because everyone wants to be there, just like everyone in Cali wants fuel and wants it bad. CA state tax is pretty low compared to other states

CA. gas is highly oxygenated too. Plus California has a ton more clean air laws and environmental boards to support (CARB to name one). And what Frank said.

Re: Re: Gas price check.....
It's like airline tickets, no one understands it, but we all gripe about it.
For people like me who do not put on the miles, it makes little difference, but people who are commuting 150-200 miles a day, it adds up.

That's weird, I've never heard that before. Andy rooney said he drives from CT to NJ to get gas. Funny that you'd be that cheap when you make millions! We cry about 50 cents per gallon tax on fuel. What is it in Québec, easily more than what we pay for the entire gallon they pay in taxes alone. What, 64.9 cents CDN per liter? I usually don't care I just pump it, what ya gonna do, not return the rental full?

We pay 1.159 for 93 on Tue for Texaco. What a ultimate rip off when we can buy 87 for 1.019 everyday. But when you look closer, the dealers in NJ are cheesier than PA, because the tax is 14.5 cents and 26.6 cents per gallon respectively. Fed adds another 18.4. We never can buy gas in South Jersey for 12 cents less, and in northern NJ it's actually more than Philly. Supply and demand peoples. Anyway, gas is about 6 cents more than when it hit bottom. People are spending $150+ per tire on this forum, what's up with 6 cents?

Broke right now, can't afford springs or shocks for that matter. I'll just have to go 4x4 this year.

Thanks for the offer though

Here in Bergen County, im spending 1.73 - 1.75 for premium (93). It kills me whenever I fill up my tank, since I usually wait till the last minute. Well those SUV's are getting what they have comin , that makes me feel better knowing my $26 is $60 for their suburban assault vehecle.

Yeah, I'm in Plant City Florida, not far from Tampa, and I paid $1.85 for 93 octane this morning. I see it's a lot cheaper in most other places, but hey, I can drive my car with no shoveling anything first!

you'll notice this is an OLD thread... and I can see where they're coming from... they were used to low prices back then, and then the shot up 25 cents a gallon... it would make anyone mad. I remember back 4 or 5 years ago when it was .99c for PREMIUM here in Louisiana.

Yup.. All over the bay area right now, most places are about $2.30+ for premium (91 octane). Has to be damn near the only thing I hate about this state. Sigh.

Ahhhh I just filled up last night in OC, and it was $2.05 a gallon! This morning I got some more gas in Artesia by my work before a trip up north and it was $2.03. Yesterday at the same gas station it was $1.99. Damn...are we going to war yet or what?

Today I saw the premium (93 octane) $2.10 at an exxon in Queens NY. I don't know what's going on here. Every other day, it's raising 5 to 6 cents. It's unbelievable.
