Even the news reporter thought it was a dumb idea to mention CA clean air day. Lol. Our public transit system is gawwdamn mess! Rather be in car with AC stuck in traffic and hitting potholes than feeling unsafe on the bus. Nice job California 👏

And look what happens when you rely on everyone outside of the US for your energy needs

[rustbeltrobclassic]

winter blend = ethanol = burns faster = more expensive

[GeorgeKafantaris]

Forget OPEC. We got our own oil. And lots of it.

[AngelLopez-ivjv]

Why is Gavin still Governor? He should have been kicked out a long time ago.

[charleskenney]

Imagine what would happen if the US had its own oil.

[MysLed]

That excuse is still ALL total bullsh... If that really adds up and explains why we've seen gas prices surge to such the extreme? Than what is up with the cost of a barrel in gas not match with all of tbese sudden spikes and slow drops occurring this past year?

[M.C.Blackwell]

The oil companies are trying to get those prices up as high as possible.

[snaxs]

Doesn't matter, we're energy independent. Oh wait. Nevermind.

[peteyca]

lol and people thought our current politicians were looking after them🤣they are sitting in their mansions laughing and looking for the next million dollar house to buy for their kids. While average citizens can't even afford to fuel their cars for a weekend trip. This is America

[fasthandsz]

Record breaking profits for these gas companies. Gas should be a government utility

[hermengild]

Gavin gonna have Old California at 10 dollars a gallon, That’s California gold 😂😂😂

[DCmite]

CA always wants to be special, give me the same gas that the rest of the states use.

[bobbob-vwcc]

I bet all democrats are missing that sweet Trump Gas price of $2.80

[timriley]

Well since California and Washington DC wanted to make oil harder on Americans why are you complaining about it. Newsom will figure out away for everyone to drive an electric car and your just going to have to suffer a lot longer with your problems of high rent, homeless, crime, wild fires, and black outs from all those ev cars charging. Dont worry you got this figured out

[shaggydawg]

Oh great... looking forward to paying $70/gallon in California.

[charleskenney]

Hey California, guess what? Gas yesterday here in Texas was $2.80 - $2.90 per gallon. Enjoy your policies.

[abcfhdi]

When trump was in charge no issue with OPEC production as we were a net exporter. Instead of begging OPEC we should produce here.

Not trying to sound rude or insensitive, but the very last modes of transportation that I want to take is the bus and train. Public transportation in the U.S. is a joke. I truly feel bad for the people who need to rely on the filth & crime ridden CA metro system on a daily basis.
