It should be noted that gasoline rose 10 cents a gallon on the first of the year (2015) due to "cap and trade program." This was on top of already high prices due to other regulations.
For those who don't know California, two data points:
- ARCO is generally the least expensive, taking ONLY cash or their own company credit card; and,
- Torrance, Long Beach, Pomona are not isolated, remote communities; they are part of the sprawling urban Los Angeles metropolis
Now, Oklahoma (a dynamic link):
We averaged about $2.79 (before the 10-cent increase) while in southern California over the holidays. The least we paid was $1.87 in Gallup, New Mexico, on the way home.
Before you all write complaining that I'm misleading you on the gasoline prices, yes, I know I am comparing apples with oranges: highest price vs lowest price. I could write more on that, but time to move on.
