SoCal gas is at least $6.85 a gallon.

Not that high. In the 5s.

$6.84999 at the Shell station near my gym this morning.

$5.66 today at the arco nearby. LA fwiw.

Understood. This was in Manhattan Beach which is expensive for everything but still, that delta is incredible.

Actually, I noticed one near there yesterday on PCH (forget which station) was $6.89999 for the good stuff.

That would be double my cost of gas where I am from 2 years ago. That's insane.

Insane was me paying this much during the gas price hikes in the early 2010s. We aren’t even there yet. Adjusted for inflation thats probably $8 gas.
