California’s gas prices just keep going up

Bidenflation may have been forgotten by many media pundits, but its effects still haven’t gone away. In fact, California is feeling the worst of it at an all-too-familiar location: gas stations.
Gas prices in California are spiking once again, up 31 cents in the last week alone and hurdling toward $6 a gallon as a statewide average. Los Angeles already hit $6.07 a gallon (up 49 cents in just one week), with the price rising 52 times in the last 57 days in Los Angeles County. Orange County is close behind, with the price rising 50 times in 56 days to $5.91 a gallon.
BLAME BIDENOMICS FOR UAW STRIKE
Gas is now back over $4 a gallon in 11 states, including being above $5 in Nevada and Washington, but California is still seeing the worst of it. The unique combination of California’s war on its own residents through ridiculously high taxes and cost of living and California’s war on gas-powered cars continues to bleed residents dry.
Have no fear though, Californians: that high-speed rail that will erase your need for cars will be fully operational sometime after the year 2100. And Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is bravely taking oil companies to court over … their supposed “lying” about climate change. Doesn’t that make you feel a little bit better about the fact that your own state causes you to pay more on gas than any other state’s residents?
Between California’s apparently unrelenting desire to price all of its residents out of the state and the inflation that has run rampant under President Joe Biden, Californians are stuck in a cycle between paying more than anyone else for gas and paying even more than that. On the bright side, Californians have already learned how to ration when it comes to energy and water. What’s a little more rationing among residents of a dying state?
