So, why make a huge error in the price of gas in LA and then blame the government rather than looking into it to see if it's even true?

Those photos must be edited. Deep fakes.

No, they must not be edited, but they also don't represent the true price of gas in LA either as the average price was $3.61 gal in September and SPD showed current pricing.

That was before they went up 59 cents a gallon in the last three weeks: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nb...rices-highest-since-2015-562367871.html?amp=y

Of course, it had more to do with events in the MiddleEast than California politics, but never let reality bother the story that is being spun.

No. According to AAA, the spike caused by the attack on Saudi oil facilities is abating nationwide, but the West Coast has higher gas prices right now because of "refinery disruptions".

Of course, you're correct that the reason that California gas is always higher than the rest of the nation doe relate to government policies in the state. State gas taxes are 43 percent higher than the national average. Also, requirements for special fuel blends in an attempt to minimize air pollution also adds to the cost. In addition, there aren't pipelines linking the state to petroleum or crude oil supplies, and storage capacity is limited.

When passing through the Great Blue State, I always fill up just before the Oregon border. I can usually make it through to Arizona with only one tank of bloated-priced gas being purchased in California.

I'd rather have higher gas prices than the tolls they're planning on putting on the freeways and now local roads in Portland.
 
America has always had cheaper gas than most countries other than the Middle Eastern ones......I remember many many years of gas for my motorcycle in Taiwan being 3 bucks a liter....but that honda motorcycle could run for a month on a tank of gas.

LA is Portland's future. You'll have both like we do.

That Vision Zero bullshit? They did that hear and it fucked shit up

I agree. Such a stupid approach when the funds for needed road construction could be obtained with a simple increase in gas tax. Of course, that wouldn't achieve the social engineering that they want by being able to tax you more for using the freeways during peak periods. Their approach is brutal on working class folks who can't afford to live close to work due to sky-high real estate prices and who have no choice as to their commuting hours.

I do have to point out, however, that you can have higher gas prices and toll roads. There's no shortage of toll roads in California.

Both Canadian and Mexican gas prices are cheaper than California. European countries are about a buck a gallon more, primarily due to taxes.

But the taxes that were supposed to be earmarked for repairing roads, as was presented to the voters, is now being diverted via Governor's Executive Action to other programs.

Local roads? I thought they were just doing that with the 205 bridge

Last I heard, they were looking at tolls on the entire I-5 and I-205 corridors. They're also trying to figure out how to avoid drivers diverting onto local roads. Maybe Sly has some new info on that?

In asia it's sold by the liter, not gallon and I assume it's the same in Europe....never been there but Taiwan as I said even in the 80s was about 3bucks per liter...not gallon....that's way more than a buck difference...also why asia pioneered the use of small motors in vans, trucks, etc....they adapted and we're still driving big gas guzzlers to tail gate parties...America is the biggest car loving country I've ever seen..it's why our public transit systems suck...we don't seem to value the option. Texas probably has the cheapest gas around the states...maybe Oklahoma...don't drive there. Almost everyone I know who travels in Europe gets a Euro rail pass and loves it...they have great public transportation from what I've heard....we have Amtrak..slow and terrible
