Doren,
Gas is $6 unless you are a fool. That's 15% cheaper than your exaggeration.
It's not my exaggeration. It's from the article. (Granted the source is FOX Business, so of course they're going to quote the highest price that is observed.)
If all Americans OBEYED THE LAWS on the roads that one thing would cause gas prices to fall.
Yeah, and if Americans didn't road rage, or if Americans drove more manual transmissions, or if Americans stopped using their cell phones on the road, etc. etc., we could save a lot of lives, dollars, etc.

That's irrelevant, though. Human behavior is human behavior.

The real point, however, is why California gas is so expensive, even when compared to other "blue states" like New York.

The answer is that we have regulations on the type of gas that is allowed to be sold here in order to reduce smog, but only three refineries are able to produce that.

And it's in the state's best interest to NOT change that situation, because you know, we'll all be driving EVs by 2035 anyway.

How do I know? Because the California government said so, whether we like it or not.
