They didn’t answer why gas price is so expensive in Bay Area compared to average in nation. They just gave same old lame talking points.
And electric bills keep jumping.
Yes, but a 350 mile tesla is still $14 to fill up at a super charger, while my 350 mile economy car is $68 now. So even with high electric prices, it's still way cheaper to driver electric. And with lightly used model 3'a at $20,000, they are becoming the new Prius.
@heyaisdabomb Our neighbor has a $400 a month higher electric bills than ours. Only thing we see different on power use is they have a Tesla that they use on a daily basis for commuting.
Yes because most electric is generated from petroleum products / natural gas
@@heyaisdabombNo, they're not. People will just simply not commute instead of buying EVs.
What happened to all that renewable electricity that you spent trillions to develop! 😂😊
Does not help when CA taxes so much for your gas.
That was voter approved! 😂😊
@@darylyost7273 Voters ARE California.
I have a Tesla and am a resident of CA. Even EV owners are not immune to the gas tax. We have to pay for NOT using gas. EV owners have to pay a much higher vehicle registration fee. I pay $750 a year for my vehicle registration.
@lukasfoo
Y’all are getting fleeced in CA!
I pay $36 for my annual tag renewal here in FL.
@@lukasfoo yes because the gas taxes exist to fund road maintenance. your cars do just as much damage to the roads as gas cars (actually, a little more considering batteries weigh so much) so you need to pay your fair share of the maintenance costs as well
Just wait until the cost to charge your electric car is the same as a gas fill up.
@@MiMiiViVi LOL you forget to mention monthly payment to get it installed and the fact is that solar only work with the sun. I guess folks who need to charge their vehicles during night time are SOL.
@@MiMiiViVi You're basically tethered to your house.
Already the case lol
How so? Explain.
Not everyone is broke 😂
Is he AAA employee or government employee? Why didn't he tell that CA has the highest gas tax in the nation?
All I hear from the fed government is that we've never produced more gas domestically than now, so why isn't it getting cheaper for us? Seasonal pricing is BS. It's literally half the cost every where else.
maybe a bit better but not half the cost. they want us out of our gas-powered cars, while uncle joe gives away our hard-earned $$$ to b.s. that doesn't make any kind of logical sense.
It's ironic cause India and China produce the most carbon emissions than any Western country.
We have been closing refineries, have built no new refineries, and now have to send our oil to our enemies to refine and sell it back to us! All voter approved! 😂😊
@@MiMiiViVi I don't complain about high fuel prices! Not my problem!
@@MiMiiViVi then don't complain when gas is $100+ for a full gas tank and potentially $100+ for a full charge of battery. No more ICE vehicles = time to tax the EV vehicles.
Newsom said he was going to do something about this years ago. What happened????
Newsom has said a lot of crap and never kept his word. It’s his MO. Lie lie lie. He said he would follow the people’s wishes to keep the death penalty too. He didn’t. Death row is being dismantled. Per a friend who works there, the death row inmates cheered when the chamber was being taken apart. Newsome said stay inside and then went to eat at the nicest restaurant in northern CA with his rich buddies. Wake up folks!!!
He is going to do another investigation that leads to nowhere
Bought and paid.
He didn't say what, or which direction.
California has higher gas prices than HAWAII. Wtf.
Dems have closed down refineries, and we havent had any new ones built in many years. Then we have a special blend of gas and nearly $1.40 in taxes between sales, state, federal etc.
That refinery claim would affect the rest of the country, but it's not. This is just a Cali problem.
And it's almost impossible to build new gas stations here.
L.A. and SF have the best public transit options in the country, so use them, save yourself some money.
@@DistrustHumanzexactly you’re proving my point. CA doesn’t have any refineries because they’ve closed them down and haven’t built any since the 70s if I remember correctly. It cost money to ship oil all over to get it refined.
@@michaelellringer5600not everyone is close to a train. And it doesn’t make sense for a family vacation. And I’ve taken BART, and am tired of explaining why there is a pile poop in the elevator and bums shooting up drugs to my kids.
california is the only state with gas over $5.
@@MiMiiViVi that is an island. Transportation is going to cost more. But keep coping though.
@@Baebon6259 california can't buy gas from any other state because of the blends that are CA-only. so effectively it's the same as being "an island"
@@mikeydude750 lol "CA-only" sound like a scam to justify high price.
@AnhNguyen-rm1hd
The whole United States is an island! Completely surrounded by water..... And Canada.
@@Baebon6259 i mean it's not a scam, it's a different blend because of the LA basin's smog problems. that's not exactly a secret. do you want LA air quality from the 70s?
Always go to Costco where gas prices are usually .75 cents per gallon less than the state average.
Wow! AAA guy completely glosses over what the real issues are! Excessive taxation, regulations, anti business sentiment, anti lower and middle class, charging what Bay Area willing to pay, etc, etc.
He is a shill
East bay here. Arco i use was $3.89 end of February. Paid $5.40 today.. . Crazy
California in the Red Billions
When I was in high school, an hour of minimum wage bought 2 gallons of gas. Now an hour of minimum wage can buy almost 4 gallons of gas.
In Houston it’s 2.99 a gallon!
Tell that to Newsom.
That's cheap as fuk
@@user-dg7qv4ce9l good point
People living in Blue state like California always pay more than national averages at the gas pumps. Gas prices go up as groceries will quietly move up at the supermarket near you.
I remember gas being $1.89 a while ago, be perfect to keep it at that price in Houston
Didn't you all vote for this???
They never learn
This looks like a paid advertisement for AAA,then they can track you with the app.
3:52 PG&E got approval from the CPUC to raise their rates per kWh by 13% and PG&E wants even more. Most people have already decided about EV's which is the reason auto/EV manufacturers are scaling back on EV production because not nearly enough people are buying them.
Where in the hell do they think we are suppose to be getting all this money from. Everything has gone up in price...
Bidens booming economy! If you're not making it you're not trying! 😂😊
California $2.40 in tax alone per gallon and you all voted for it
Don't blame me! I voted for Kudos!
lol this is a pure lie. Taxes are not 2.40 a gallon.
@@Ianxredshow us their not.
Thank the Lord for shopping carts, zero gas and electric use.
Gas prices are always higher in California. The people don't drive any different too. From what I can see at the 101, 680, etc. People still drive the BIG Ford F150, V8 engines at over the speed limit, accelerate aggressively, single drivers in these big SUV or trucks, etc. The EV won't help with saving money because it cost more to buy EV, PGE raised electricity rates about 40% and PGE is asking for another increase. Registration , insurance, repair cost are much higher for EV! Either way you lose unless you walk with your feet LOL.
Get those "I did that" stickers out and ready
If you are referring to the Biden stickers, how does Biden affect gas prices only in Cali? The rest of the country isn't having these high gas price issues.
@@DistrustHumanzGas prices are slowly rising everywhere and where I live. But it's funny how he takes claim when prices go down the very slightest.
Sorry if I treaded on your man crush.
My daughter lives by Nashville and gas is $ 3.44 a gallon...
Higher tax > more money for homeless
what does that even mean?
A bar of kitkat is $5 😂
Sounds like B.S to me, the price of a gallon of gas today $3.59 per gallon in Arizona.
This is fkn unacceptable and unsustainable!
The whole world is! This earth will fold Like an expensive Umbrella!
I payed 5.85 for chevron 91.
Not nearly enough! 😂😊
That guys explanation was stupid. Seasonality??price of barrel of oil?But the other 49 other states don’t get that same barrel of oil?
Don't go anywhere unless you absolutely have to !! Then watch the price go down !!
Newsom. You’re fired.
So, the Bay Area apparently is on a different season than Southern California? This makes no sense.
Doesn’t the graphic show clear evidence of price gouging or even price fixing?
@3:50 homegirl Jazmin doesn't know what she is talking about. Switching over to battery vehicles does nothing for our energy shortage - most power for charging these clown battery cars still come from fossil fuels!!!
We are California! We will grab our ankles and vote for more!
Seasonality? That doesn't answer the question!
Why do gas prices rise at this time of the year then? Is it that more people are driving? That doesn't make sense - who wasn't driving and is driving now?
Do gas companies just jack up prices at this time every year?
This guy told us NOTHING.
Remember these so called 'experts' more than likely did not go to college and probably just barely scraped by high school...
The seasonality issue comes in when Kalifornia refnineries have to adjust their fuel blends for summer vs winter. This is because of Kalifornia emission standards that the CARB puts into place. So we have a 'special' blend of gasoline that is only sold in this state and is why the prices are so insane.
In the summer months, the demand is high and the supply somewhat limited so the prices go up. Remember, this is only the special blend of fuel for Kalifornia. No other states have this stupid requirement! That's what these idiot public servants are forcing down our throats!
Taxes on gas is too much.
I live in New York State and our average gas price is far cheaper than what Californians are typically paying. I think we're paying about $4.00, give a take a dime or so.
Everyone in Cali complaining about gas prices in 2024 like they weren't paying more back in 2008, and that is even without adjusting for inflation.
Jokes on you! I didn't have a car then!
Why does the news NEVER say the truth!?? Taxes, taxes, taxes!! Refinary also knows to stick ir to the consumers because CA government will never do a thing about it.
Ohhh That hair diss at the end! lol
just means you can't waste gas driving for no reason or just because you're bored bye bye joy rides and running to get fast food. An if you look at your electric bill and focus on what wattage you're using like how many watts your lights use. TVs can produce a lot of wattage almost 100 watts an hour or more especially the bigger the TV. Understanding a house's wattage usage will drastically cut your bill especially if It means not running stuff at certain times and cutting back on how long you leave your lights on. They do sell bulbs that run only 2.2 or 3.5 watts and just replacing a few bulbs will again drastically reduce wattage usage in return reduces bill. As I combat veteran you'd be surprised just how much unnecessary electronics are plugged in or drawing power when they're not even in use. I recently got into solar power stations and depending on where you live and power need u can use them to substitute power from the grid yes it's an investment but beats paying say 10 or 15k for a full solar system bought one for 700 an a solar panel an use it to charge my phone or even other devices and then when it runs low just put it outside hooked up to a single solar panel and it charges of the sun meaning I can go a week without ever having to plug my phone or a good amount of devices into a wall outlet. Life is about flexible not guarantees. Just makes no sense They wasted 30 billion on homeless and yet keep raising wages and taxes or allowing rate hikes. Sorry America I didn't fight for capitalism just the democracy you all voted for. don't like the way things are going vote out your leadership
its a simple fix. CA governor can pass a statewide price freeze on all fuel.
That means rationing and very long gas lines.
A barrel of oil is the same price nationwide. So that is NOT a big reason why California prices are high. It's state of California gas tax and sales tax, which is a % so the higher the price the higher the sales tax. State Government could reduce gas tax and relieve some of the price pressure.....but they won't do it.
We are being gouged for housing so badly one has money for anything else.
Move somewhere else, then.
So if the price of diesel was regulated say to $2 a gallon. Would the price of goods go down or it would stay remained high and companies would be greedy
I'm currently in Houston. Just over $3/gallon here.
I always trade oil futures at this time of season and in the fall when we change back. It's the only way to stay ahead of the oil industry. They won't stop, and our politicians profit too much from them to make any changes. So you have to look out for yourself.
Price gauging is the answer and CA taxes.
Taxes, yes. Price gouging? I'm still not sure about that.
EV are triple the amount in purchase and maintenance that lady is full of it
Sw Florida 87 octane $3.67 average people making $2500 -$3500 / month.
I don’t drive a car anymore
Thank god I use public transportation
what a joke. "seasonality" "summer blend"
@4:30 homeboy said gas and grocery prices need to be better regulated! This is how stupid our society has become! When you REGULATE any industry, you put a stop on normal market forces and businesses will no longer have the incentive to go and produce the products and services that the market place wants becasue these businesses will NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE MONEY!!!
These dorks will blame everyone except Gavin newsom whose is responsible for our $2+ higher average.
Two words can easily solve this problem. Public transit!!!!!
Last days of the Trump administration our price was $1.86 and the biggest problem was we didn't have enough storage capacity for all the oil gushing out of American wells.
I chose a good time to go on vacation lol
Stop complaining if your not ready to go to war with these corporations and governments
Because talking about things doesn’t accomplish nothing
“Force is the only Answer”
$6.20 cents in Sacramento Arco lol..
I'm glad I bought gas stocks last year 🤑
Get your Clipper pass!
Not to worry, Gavin and Joe have everything under control!
Why can't they drill in the Bakken area?
Because you're tax dollars is easy to get!😂😊
The natural resources should be nationalized and the proceeds go to a public trust fund
BS on the oil price. if that was the problem it would be high across the nation and its not. newsom is trying to pay down the state dept by raising the price
3.02 in San Antonio
Get hybrid and electric
Blame the soaring gas prices to Newsom or Biden on their watch?
Since this is a gas price issue only in Cali, and not in the rest of the country, then it must be just a Newsom problem.
Why do summer blends start in late February? That's when i first started noticing the prices go up. Small window for low gas prices. But i also call BS on the gas companies. There's needs to be more transparency.
I give up.
California voters love expensive gasoline prices. Any proposition that would repeal gasoline taxes is rejected.
The stress is coming
Why should I care at all when they LITERALLY vote for this?
California shouldn't compare National Gas Prices because California has a different Blend of Gas and we have a higher GAS TAX. If the whole US had the same then yes California can compare.
Working from home haha
why stress over what you asked for?
I thought California was going electric! Price of gas shouldn't matter! 😂😊
Thumbnail is a Diesel pump dummies.
they're trying to force us to get EV's
100% this. I've tried to tell people this but I don't know who's legit listening. It's all part of the "green new deal".
Yes, then they turn off the juice and you can't go anywhere.
Good
Who’s they?
Get solar, get an EV. Problem solved.
*Re: Pigs @ a trough*
plus additional school bond measures demanding more money from home owners.
_when will it end._

They want everything electric and carbon zero AT ANY COST
Ride a bike. But try not to get run over by a car
This all the fault of one man.
Yup! Jesus!
You get exactly what you voted for.
$5 a gal here in hilo, hi.
What stress quit voting blue. If you're gonna continue to vote, these idiots into office quit complaining. I live in the Bay Area.
OH YOU SHUT UP, DAVID THE TRUMPSTER FREAK AND DON'T YOU EVER, EVER TELL ME TO QUIT VOTING BLUE BECAUSE I WILL NEVER EVER, EVER QUIT VOTING BLUE!!!!!
Californians are completely fine with this.
YOU..... VOTED.... FOR.... THIS... You voted blue. You voted for the mindset... YOU DESERVE THIS...
Couldn't of said it better myself.
That's All Folks! Commiefornias cartoon voting base!😂😊
Trump is your God. 😂🎉❤
@@ryder4508 with Bidens booming economy its just Trumpsters having a hard time making ends meat! Life is good!
Better than voting for anti-abortion Christian lunatics
They're expensive because the market can bear it, sure there is some level of expense due to higher than "normal" taxes, and due to regulations in formulation, but all those rules apply everywhere in the state, yet the Bay Area is more... because people here have more income on average than the rest of the state and gas companies know they can gouge the sh*t out of us without worry because we need our precious gas to get to those high paying jobs that pay for it. It's simply as simple as that.
You do realize california is forcing their own blend, has the highest gas tax in the country, and forces the cap and trade program. Not mention they forced several refineries to shutdown. This doesn't happen in other states. That's why their gas is $3.
@@user-mu9tq1up8u Good point about the refinery shut down, which means lower supply and higher prices.
Most people have no idea how lack of refinery capacity affects prices.
But here is what we will do to ourselves:
1. Activists target refineries AND deliver votes
2. Politicians listen to Activists
3. Politicians impose impossible to meet regulations, reporting, and response, and cap margins
4. Refineries close
5. But normal non-Activists people wonder why it costs so much
6. Activists are Happy you're paying more. They want it all shut down
7. Gasoline will be refined in India, and shipped to us in tankers
8. We are merely moving the refining to a place with less stringent pollution controls.
@@user-mu9tq1up8u Oh I realize that, which is why I mentioned it in my post. But you did see this story right? That gas prices are higher in the Bay Area than other parts of California, you can not say blends, and taxes, etc, are the reason for that because those other places IN CALIFORNIA also pay them. The reason they are higher in the Bay Area is because gas companies know people can and will pay more for gas, i.e. they are maximizing their profit margin because people can pay.
I'll always remember the time I saw some field reporter answering the question, "Why do they charge so much more for gas in California?"
He laughed, and said, "Because they can!"
@@user-mu9tq1up8uthat blend is used in other states to!
This is what happens when you elect someone George W Bush endorsed
Blame the politicians and voters who voted for them and their "climate change" polices.
Shut up and just pay what they want. Stop whining.
Bye den
The power to end this is in the people’s hands. If you want to stop the tax gouging at the pump you need to vote the democrats out! Elect people who will end the cap & trade carbon tax, and will get more refineries built. Every Republican or Independent running for office should make this their major campaign points. If you keep electing the same people they will continue to tax gouge you which affects everything you purchase. Vote for a change in November.
We should be more like Europe. Not.
Forcing us to take sucky public transportation.
