Joyce Bell 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽🇬🇱🚫🧊@headlines_bot @ai6yr why are gas prices so high in California? Regular gas is less than three bucks per gallon in SE Wisconsin.
AI6YR Ben@joycebell @headlines_bot 1. All the refineries are in California, we do not share refining with other states, whereas the rest of the US gets supply from Texas, Louisiana, etc. -- we have limited refinieries
2. California has its own gasoline mix (which dramatically reduces air pollution), which is more expensive. It does make a HUGE difference.
3. There are California taxes on top.
btw, that photo is the most expensive (overly expensive) station in LA). Most are between $3.50 and $4.50 a gallon right now. Very misleading.
