There was a station in Malibu that had Premium (only 91 out here) for the low price of $6.09 9/10 last week.
California requires all the fuel sold here to be a special blend, that just happens to only be made here. Not only do we get a lower octane, we get lower mpg due to the extra detergents, and it's easier to gouge when there are only 3 refineries making the product.
Add in the fact that the state has a flat tax that is higher than the federal tax per gallon, and then they add in local sales tax on top of it. We are shelling out over $1.00 per gallon just in taxes.
Anyone want to move to Cali? If I could, I'd be out of here in half a heart beat. The weather is amazing, but the rest of the crap that you have to put up with is sooooooooo not worth it.
