Los Angeles gas prices skyrocket, $1.20 more than 2020

Thank you Gov. Nuisance and the mentally challenged Joe Biden.  By stopping th issuance of oil drilling permits, by stopping the Keystone pipeline and other anti-energy measure, in L.A. the cost of a gallon of gas has gone up by $1.20.

“The average price has risen 81.5 cents since the start of the year, mainly because of a run of 59 increases in 60 days totaling 57.9 cents that ended March 21.

In Orange County, gasoline has risen nine-tenths of a cent to $4.021, its highest amount since Nov. 11, 2019, one day after rising four-tenths of a cent. There, gasoline is 2.7 cents more than one week ago, 9.7 cents higher than one month ago and $1.213 greater than one year ago.

The Orange County average price has risen 81.3 cents since the start of the year, mainly because of a run of 72 increases in 73 days totaling 68.1 cents that ended March 20.

On Tuesday I bought gas in King City, Monterey County, the cost was $4.05 a gallon.  In Simi Valley, where I live the Chevron station has unleaded at $4.25 a gallon-up a quarter in the past month.  Look at your electricity bill—you will see a massive increase in the past year.  Thank you Gavin.
