People in Southern California are paying the highest prices for gasoline since 2012.
I remember that time well. Luckily, at that time, I was working within three miles from home, so I didn't have to buy too much too often.
If there was any good reason to move out of California three years ago, this certainly is it.
According to ABC7:
The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County rose Saturday for the 12th consecutive day, increasing four-tenths of a cent to $4.547, its highest amount since Oct. 19, 2012.
The average price has increased 11 cents over the past 12 days, including eighth-tenths of a cent Friday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service. It is 6.7 cents more than one week ago, 14.8 cents higher than one month ago and $1.368 greater than one year ago.
The Orange County average price rose for the 11th time in 12 days, increasing six-tenths of a cent to $4.513, its highest amount since Oct. 19, 2012. It is 6.1 cents more than one week ago, 16.1 cents higher than one month ago and $1.37 greater than one year ago.
The high crude prices are cited as the cause of the jump in gasoline prices. The cost per barrel for West Texas crude was $83.76 on Friday. The price at the pump wouldn't be as bad if the California gasoline taxes imposed were lower. That's what the dummies in California get in return for electing radical-left Democrats.
Small wonder there's an exodus of people moving out of California.
