Every time I read a story like the one that follows makes me more glad and grateful that I moved out of Commiefornia (California).

The gasoline prices I paid over the past weekend to and from the clamp-out was around $2.89/gallon in Arizona. The price here at the Flying J is $2.57/gallon.

Naturally, California's politicians love high prices (how else are they going to pay for all the freebies for illegal aliens?).

While the rest of the country is seeing a downward trend in gasoline prices, California is going in the opposite direction.

According to the Sacramento Bee:

Gas prices skyrocketed in Sacramento and throughout California last week, despite a nationwide trend in the opposite direction. 

Prices at the pump in Sacramento are up more than 25 cents in the past seven days and nearly 35 cents over the past month, according to fuel trend analysis website GasBuddy. 

Gas is currently averaging $3.85 a gallon, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 720 stations in the capital city. 

Stockton ($3.51 a gallon), Modesto ($3.44) and Oakland ($3.75) are all up more than 24 cents week-over-week, according to GasBuddy. The statewide average fuel price is $4.02 per gallon as of 8 a.m. Monday.

This is what happens when one votes Democrat and turn a state into a one-party state.
