Drivers are feeling the slower pace of summer at the pump as gas prices remain steady. The national average for a gallon of regular is back at $3.16 after dropping a couple of cents this past week. Meanwhile, California gas prices dropped two cents since last week to an average of $4.48. That’s down 17 cents since last year when Californians were paying $4.65 per gallon. “The summer of lower gas prices continues thanks to crude oil prices averaging around $65 a barrel,” said Doug Johnson, spokesperson, AAA Mountain West Group. “Pump prices so far in 2025 haven’t had any major spikes or dips compared to other recent years.”

Ca sucks
…. so little less it doesn’t come close to offsetting the higher prices of everything else despite the 2.3% inflation rate the politicos are touting…. a reminder – Newsum promised to bring Ca gas prices in line with the rest of the country from the gouging by big oil as part of his election campaign – did he? nooooooooo and the amazing thing is he beat the recall and had enough votes for a second term 🙁
Hahaha! This is not a flex. At all.
Why is this site bragging about a 2 cent decrease in gas prices?!?
That doesn’t help anyone.
Contra Costa County’s average is $4.53/gallon while the rest of the country (including NY and HI) are in the $2-$3/gallon range.
This state is last in everything and we all know it.
There’s no bragging here. Our roads are the worst in the country, highest gas prices in the country, some of the most traffic in the country, highest cost of living, taxes, highest unemployment and highest homelessness.
Newscum and every other Democrat/Liberal owes the rest of us common sense voters gas money.
“California is set to lose 17% of its oil refinery capacity over the next 12 months because of two planned refinery closures. If realized, the closure of the facilities is likely to contribute to increases in fuel price volatility on the West Coast”

we have always paid higher prices living next to the refineries, states that have no refining capability pay less.
The refineries closing isn’t the main reason why the gas prices are so high here.
It’s the huge 66 cent gas tax that Newscum imposed on us.
It wasn’t that high 5 years ago.
The gas prices were in the $3 range a few years ago and we’ve always had issues with refineries.
