Only a 4 cent difference between regular and supreme?

Why is there like a 50 cent difference in Hawaii?

From the LA news article, this is an independent Chevron station in downtown LA, free to charge what they want.

"Hey where did our tax base go?"

If you allow government to break the law for an "emergency" they will create "emergencies" to break the law.

It is well known that Chevron generally has the highest prices( gouges the most).
I'm surprised Hawaii doesn't have the same problem - price gouging worse than it
presently is.  My last gas purchase was $5.34 Hamakua coast, BI.
Get's too much worse,  I'll borrow a neighbors horse and start looking for a buggy.

We all know all Americans will suffer at the pump with no relief in sight.  Experts or so called experts predict gas will be $7 a gallon by August if not sooner.

Somehow I wish those who voted for biden would suffer the most.  I really do.  Unfortunately those of us who knew he was bad for the nation will have to suffer side by side with those who thought that idiot was the godsend for the nation.

Godsend my ass.

You kind of miss the point.
The people that vote for Democrats are the people that vote to steal from us  to pay them.
Be they the extreme rich or the non-tax payer "poor".
That is the system, especially here in Hawaii.

Suffer they should, but the election was stolen, and those that orchestrated the theft will not suffer a thing.

it's funny because CA has no reason to be higher than HI.  This is due to their own voting habbits. HI ships the fuel from CA to here. So it is expected for us to pay more than them (added shipping cost). The JOnes act is a whole nother thread.

Correct, extra cost that they put on themselves. Compared to a shipping cost of fuel consumption.

And other "incidentals" that are passed onto the consumer.  I don't know where CA is right now, but I remember all of the emissions stuff in WA.  While not directly fuel cost related, it came out that it ended up affecting fuel prices. . .  >:(

yes they do:

The accursed CARB imposes all sorts of regulations on gasoline refining and end product.   
Their gas has been called useless swill for decades the quality is so bad. 
CARB has almost alone destroyed much of Calif industry.

My statement meant that they did it to themselves. Cost of transporting from point A to B is given. But all the extras is not needed and selfharm.

How much wIthout Techron?

The 9 they put at the end of gas prices really irks me. Like we are supposed to think it is $5.31 instead of $5.32 or whatever
price is being charged now.
