California gas station charging $10 for a gallon of gas
ABC7 Los Angeles • • business
Key Points:
- Gas prices in Los Angeles County have reached over $6 per gallon, while along California's central coast, prices are even higher, with a Big Sur gas station charging nearly $10 per gallon.
- The high prices at Gorda By The Sea are attributed to the station's reliance on generators for power, which increases operational costs, according to owner Leo Flores.
- Customers at the Big Sur station typically purchase only enough fuel to reach the next gas station, despite the steep prices.
- A driver noted that the station could charge even more because when motorists need gas, they have little choice but to pay the high costs.
- The national average gas price has risen to $4 per gallon, with California's average at $5.89, as reported by AAA.
