Congratulations to Los Angeles, California for setting a new record high in the city’s history with an average of $5 per gallon of gas. Gas has always been expensive in Los Angeles, and has had places over $5 per gallon before. But never has the citywide average been over $5. Thanks Joe Biden, Gavin Newsom and all the communist Democrats for their record high gas prices. It’s almost as if this is deliberate. And this is the communist Democrat’s plan to get people off fossil fuels and into crappy electric cars.
No matter how much Russian oil Biden buys from Putin, prices continue to rise. And once California switches over to it’s “summer blend” of gas because of “green energy” gas prices will likely approach an average of at least $6 per gallon, if not more.
The average price for a gallon of regular gas in Los Angeles County has hit the $5-mark for the first time ever.
The price Thursday increased 8.6 cents to $5.01, according to AAA. It also marked the largest single-day increase since the 15.1-cent increase on July 14, 2015.
One Mobile station in Beverly Grove was charging $6.65 for a gallon of regular Thursday.
The $5.01 average is the 25th such record in the past 27 days in L.A. County. Worldwide, the price of oil has been steadily increasing to unprecedented levels in large part because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which briefly drove the price of crude oil to a staggering $115 per barrel Thursday, according to the Wall Street Journal, the highest it’s been since 2008.
However, other factors such as inflation and California’s switch to the summer blend could keep prices high for several months locally.
