Glad I work from home but I doubt I’d change my driving habits, anyhow. I didn’t last time prices spiked like this.

Almost. Not quite as high, though.

But driving is not going to be the issue for me. The bigger impact for me is going to be this trickling down to increase everything else like groceries and other goods.

California’s high fuel prices are partly because of taxes as well as regulatory programs aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Together, they added about $1.27 to the cost of a gallon of gas last month, according to a calculation by the Western States Petroleum Association.

Used to be rainbows were free and especially with the abundance in California. I do know that unicorns are all imported now so there's that.

Here in NM, Costco and Sams average about $4.00 right now. The rest of the locals are up close to $4.75.

That's what you call a state gas tax of .63 per gallon? Plus a .02 storage tax?
