QUESTION: Do you think gas prices will ever drop below $5 a gallon in California, or do you think since we’re used to paying high prices, they’ll just stay high?

Yes they will come down.
I found it interesting while filling up my tank a woman at the next pump was cursing Trump out for the gas prices. I reminded her that they were at this level four years ago. Who was to blame then? She did not know what to say only gave me an angry stare.
HA!, …. that was funny.
My Sister likes to blame trump too.
Thank You,
for calling out Ignorance and affirming too many Californians
have both the attention span and memory of a Fungus Gnat.
Yes, but only by pennies temporarily.
Same exact way they established the 2, 3, and 4 dollar standards.
Depends on how much more the Strategic Petroleum Reserve can be depleted to keep the gas prices low. If the Strait of Hormuz remains closed(ish) for too much longer, they won’t be able to drain the SPR any more, and gas prices will climb rapidly, maybe by August or September.
Will drop when democrat, tree hugger, green bankrupt cabal is ended.
STOP ELECTING DEMOCRATS

Can’t think of a more anti business anti fossil fuel state, which has gone
way out of it’s way to impose unrealistic fantasy world operating rules
and outrageous fines on industry. Drove a profitable Steel plant, that
been in existence for over 110 years, to close.

We went form 30 refineries a few decades ago, today there are
only eleven in California. In 2025 refining capacity was reduced
by TWENTY PERCENT due to refinery closures.
There is another reason for high fuel prices, in a country with vast
reserves of Crude oil, politicians have made sure there is no crude
oil pipeline bringing crude into California. Close to 75% of
crude refined in CA comes from other countries.
You ARE paying those transportation costs for each barrel brought
in by SHIP.

Piece by CA State Senator Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh GOOD INFO

While searching web for info came across video from robert reich.
Haven’t laughed so hard in months, he’s talking breaking up
oil monopolies.

Think it’s bad now, refineries can’t run forever they need
to take downtime for maintenance, they’re called outages
and can take many weeks to perform. Which will effect
prices. IF there are one or two very serious refinery fires,
will take many months to recover from.
.
Word of advice, until democrats are voted out, would be
best if you are able to, build up some savings.
Is going to take years to recover from destruction democrats
have wrought on our once great state.
Doesn’t even come close to resembling state I grew up in.
only when Newsom is ousted. He fights for the wrong things in a horrendous way.
It won’t happen from any actions by the current Social Democrat rulers… They have NO interest in those economics… But they do like collecting those Taxes..
Nope June 2026 Gas price $3.88 (https://gasprices.aaa.com/) oil per barrel $70.05 (6-30 4:46 pm)

It is programed to wear you down to either stop driving and use public transit or to buy electric (that we are years from being ready for).
