Each week, the price of gas across the country – but especially in California – gets impossibly higher. Just before Memorial Day, the Chevron on Alameda de las Pulgas in Menlo Park hit $7.25 a gallon.
Then, this week, one Chevron in Los Angeles was selling gas for more than $8 a gallon. And now, we’ve spotted gasoline costing $9.50 a gallon at a gas station in Mendocino, along the northern California coast not too far from Fort Bragg.
According to Fox 5, These prices are well over the average price of gas in the Golden State, which last weekend surpassed $6 a gallon for the first time ever, according to the AAA. This is an all-time high for the state.
Breaking it down by cities, on Friday, the average price in Oakland is $6.37 a gallon, San Jose is $6.38 a gallon and San Francisco is $6.50 a gallon. The prices are curbing drivers’ plans.
According to GasBuddy, it’s the most expensive gas in the country. The station’s owner has previously said that her prices are so high because, even though she gets her gas from Chevron, she’s an independent, and doesn’t sell food or drinks to help make ends meet.
