I paid $1.65 yesterday. Glad I'm not in California
In NJ, where we have pipelines and refineries on every block, price ramped up from $1.27 to $1.49 in last 2 months for regular with even gas retailers who buy on spot market not offering significant discounts to majors.
This gasoline shortage is real and is going to be played for every penny possible.
PS I expect next EPA head, ex governor from UT, to declare most emission formulation rules null and void under national security concerns.
