thats just rough. man cali is just a terrible place to live lol

It’s all tax that makes gas expensive.

I think I paid $2.69 for 89, which is the mid grade I ran in the truck. All the forums say that 5.3L GM V8 likes 89 better than 87. 93, which I run in the G and the wife’s Lexus, is $2.79ish.

Haven’t decided what grade I’m going to run in the new truck. Need to do some googling.

I was driving the Passport for the past few weeks. It only gets regular unleaded, but is a gas guzzler at 12-15 mpg, so the lower cost to fuel it is offset by its thirstiness.

Yup, taxes. But you would think that the cost to transport the fuel to different states (vs just a few miles to the stations from our refineries) would cost more than what we would pay in taxes, yet alot of states pay close to if not less than a dollar/gal than we do.. :shakes head:

Similar here in Texas. There are places in northern Texas that pay less than we do in Houston even though the refineries are here.

The gas tax repeal that was on the ballot last year (and lost), had a provision where gas taxes couldnt be raised without voter approval. But sneaky AG reworded the bill to make it seem like if the bill passed there would be ZERO money for roads (like anything is ever spent on them anyway). My gullible fellow citizens complain to high heaven about high costs, yet vote against lowering them.. smh..
