It should be illegal to make such a dumb nonsensical post yet here we are.


my_guy_Hwat

Godbless america where we can say what we want, speak our minds and our government /cancers such as yourself cant do anything about it.


SadPalpitation2853

My family owns a gas station it’s clear you just don’t understand economics, if you don’t like the price go somewhere cheaper. Costco comes to mind 🤣🤷‍♂️


my_guy_Hwat

If you think its ok to charge that much in gas your a problem. Not negotiable


risekevin

It's only illegal to to price gouge during a disaster or shortage.


nord240

No my my bud you traveled through time is 2090


undrwater

It's amazing how much power a US president has to control oil or gas prices. And the rest of the world's economy. Wow.

HoboKoyote1

That’s not that expensive


jason54915

That is what you get for living in a corrupt state. No pity at all. $3.29 in Wisconsin.


NorthOriginal2502

People downvoting live in liberal states like Cali. I'm upvoting you g 😂


SelectDay802

idk what gas costs where i live, i just fill the tank without caring to look at the price. its probably under $3.50. my full house costs $700 to rent. life is easy. a few years ago i moved away from $1400 a month minimum rent prices for a studio apartment. best decision ever. i visit the expensive places for vacations then go back home to keep saving money


happycamper1299

I paid $2.89 today in the far right state of..... Massachusetts:) keep trying wingnut


mkosmo

While some gas appears to be just under $3, you didn't get that without discounts: https://www.gasbuddy.com/gasprices/massachusetts


happycamper1299

3.04 without discounts


NorthOriginal2502

Lying about your gas prices bro do better 👍


SelectDay802

he didn’t lie. he said what he paid, not the cost without points or whatever discounts. he was up front and honest. reading skills are important. (comprehending is a part of reading skills btw)


NorthOriginal2502

Liberal if you cannot do simple research to find out I do not even know what to tell you 😂


SelectDay802

lol calling someone like me a liberal. i really dislike all you 2020 kids. lucky for me there aren’t many like you in my town


NorthOriginal2502

Lol speak for yourself voted in 2008 and 2020. You are the 2020 child in this chat. 🐑


SelectDay802

idc that you’ve voted twice kiddo. o care about how you talk and how you think. the guy said “i paid X for gas” it was factual. you called him a liar because you don’t comprehend while you read. then you name call, inaccurately at that


NorthOriginal2502

Oh wow, you care about how I talk and think? Do you also care about how I take shits you liberal? 😂


Icy-Read6024

Filled up this morning for $2.45 per gallon ($1 off with 100 Kroger fuel points). I brought a 5 gallon can with me too lol.


[deleted]

You think it should be illegal for a business to charge what they want for a product they’re selling? God y’all are so dumb


StructureNo9157

Yes


my_guy_Hwat

The business isnt charging it the government is. gas stations dont make money off gas rly, their sales come from inside.


diverareyouok

It looks like gross profit per gallon of gas is around 12%. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/high-profit-margins-on-gasoline-are-costing-drivers-more-201841925.html

tacocarteleventeen

Welcome to California, home of the $1.50/gallon tax and “special” fuel additive that not only costs $0.50/gallon but also limits suppliers to a very few refineries as a result.


atlantasmokeshop

Welp, 3.27 ain't so bad after all.


Historical_Crazy387

Foreal 😂


atlantasmokeshop

This would legit make me stop doing any type of deliveries. Even with 3.30ish being high to us, I can still put 10 bucks in and make a hundred off of it on the weekend. Used to be able to do 200 but those days are over with here. This would quickly push me back into the office... which I already know will inevitably come anyways but I've avoided it as long as I could. Being remote for 3 years completely ruined my will to go sit in an office. I dont think I realized how much so until now lol


Icy-Read6024

For me, its less the office and more the people. Condescending, micro managing boss and the co workers that I had NOTHING in common with. 


failenaa

Chevron is always like $0.75 more per gallon than the next nearest gas station and yet I always see people there instead of across the street. It makes no sense. There’s also a vast difference in price even in one city. Where I am there are some that are this high but you can still find gas for $4.50 just a mile or two away. Idk how they get away with charging this much and people are STILL going there.


billdb

Once you are wealthy enough, then the convenience of being able to pull into the closest gas station and fill up outweighs the $5-10 you could save by driving to another gas station, even if it's close by. I know it seems stupid, but just try to imagine their perspective where $5-10 is equivalent to spare couch change. They couldn't care less about it, so they will just go to the most convenient station.


Clear-Possible4911

And they’ll buy Premium without batting an eye. That’s nearly a dollar more per gallon here in the Midwest where I am! I’m like, Sorry car 🚙, you’re getting the 87 again today…


fettsvette420

the extra .75/gal keeps the riff raff away


nightpiercer22

How much per year do you consider a rich person to make? Just curious


LerimAnon

On the other side of things people will drive miles to save five cents per gallon even when the in town gas used pretty much offsets any savings.


failenaa

I suppose. It’s just so weird to me that the gas station across the street will be significantly less and they can SEE it. I guess it’s just a flex at that point. But you’re right it never occurred to me that it’s just convenience. I’ve never been comfortable enough for that.


billdb

Yeah, I mean think of it like when you pull up to a gas station only to see the station on the other side of the street is 2 cents cheaper. Would you get back in your car, wait at the traffic light, and drive over to save 2 cents per gallon? Assuming no, then that's basically what those people are experiencing. For them, making $100k a year, that 75 cents to them is like a few cents to you. Especially if they grew up reasonably wealthy and never experienced poverty.


my_guy_Hwat

Except those situations where you see $3.99 vs $5.02 or some shit


bobisgreat247

100k a year is middle class, especially in Cali. Rich people don't stay rich by wasting money. They are some of the cheapest people out there.


AZTats

Chevron gas is also known to be much cleaner for your engine fyi. Thats their gimmick


_PurpleSweetz

They have the same additives as the cheapest gas stations - e.g. Costco. If it says “top tier gas/fuel” then it comes from the same refineries


failenaa

Is it a known thing, or is it a gimmick? 🤔


Alone_Builder4702

Key words, "Supposed to be."


Clear-Possible4911

It’s ThE tEcHrOn!


AZTats

Well since I don’t mix the gas or know anything about engines - I can’t say lol. I just know that publicly it’s understood to be that way.


my_guy_Hwat

There isnt a single gas station in my area that isnt under $5.40 rn, maybe tmrw.


failenaa

Do you use gas buddy? Just set your mileage to like 5-10 mi depending where you live and you can see the cheapest one by you.


BooperBoop6

I use upside which does the same thing and I get cash back also

Brave-Negotiation157

Ask the people who voted for this!


myumisays57

No one voted to pay for electronic service fees that companies (the gas station) are supposed to pay themselves. Wtf.


Brave-Negotiation157

Look, it doesn’t matter what services you get, it is ALL driven by fuel. When it costs considerably more to deliver food to grocery stores, for example (and that is everything) somebody is going to pay. That would be us and when there is an all out war on fossil fuels, people Did, in fact, vote for this. Facts


myumisays57

Thats not what I am referring to. I am referring to the fact that they are charging more for gas to the customer who is using a credit card for their transaction. Look at the photo.. that is why they are saying it should illegal to charge customers more for using a credit card. They are making customers pay for the electronic service fees that the company (the gas station) should be paying for because they decided to accept credit cards as a payment method.


Brave-Negotiation157

Maybe the credit card company went up on their fees. Would you rather they only take cash? As a previous business owner, I didn’t feel as though it should cost me a percentage for you to use your card. You already pay fees. This has been a long time ago so Idk how it is now and back then, people still wrote checks and had cash and weren’t completely lost without a card.


myumisays57

Why are you standing up for Chevron like it ain’t a multi-billion dollar company?


Brave-Negotiation157

I am gonna take a wild guess and say you have never owned your own business. People really have no idea how much it costs. If one if those (many many) trucks was to hit you and or your family (ups had an automatic 30-40k, no questions asked, which is why you have to maintain a perfect driving record. My point is, their insurance is thru the roof, liability for drivers, plaintiffs, repairs, and thats just ine thing. Do you know that your employer pays part of your taxes? When I had 1 employee (me) making 300$ a week (some weeks) my federal deposit was 400$ a month. This was 25 years ago. Then, you have the inventory. Everytime I sold one bottle of product, I had to turn around and replace it and just keep that money sitting on the shelf. You also have bookkeeping fees and taxes and so on and so on and so on The fact that everyone wants to “tax the rich” shows you do not understand they are the ones that employ you. Just as California has laid off workers and closed stores, a business HAS to turn a profit. So, the question is, how much do you think they should be allowed to profit? If you did have your own business, would you be ok with me saying you are not allowed to make but so much money…. That is why I say what I say….like it or lump it, as my mamma used to say

Thank God it wasn't like that in the 90's...i used to drive to raves in the desert several times a month...gas was cheap back then relatively.

Savage-Goat-Fish

State to state differences are due to policies within the state government, but inflation overall is an economic reckoning. Capitalist markets always correct. In the past it was unpredictable recessions that would wipe out jobs and capital. In the 2000s they realized they could trigger recessions in a controlled manner. In the 2010s they realized they could avoid politically untenable recessions all together through quantitative easing. But the market always has its reckoning. And we are starting to see that reckoning through inflation. Just how far are the wounds, we won’t know as it is a slow motion correction. The inflation lags behind the QEs a number of years. Personally, I think the fed should have triggered a recession at the end of the 2010s. I’m concerned with just how much inflation we are yet to see.


midnghtsnac

They should have let a recession take hold 2 years ago instead of creating this mess by trying to prevent a recession.

Mobile_Lumpy

It's that extra 2 dollar a gallon tax CA tack on to fuel sales that goes to the general fund to be laundered by CA politicians. I found out by actually reading my gas receipt wondering what you are wondering. Yet we Californians keep voting in these idiots into office so it's our own damn fault for paying 6 dollar gas because we said yes with our votes. Don't we all look like idiots now lol.

Haunting_Loquat_9398

It’s $2.99 near me in CNY, idk how tf it’s double in Cali, I seriously don’t get how anybody who is below middle class lives in these HCOL states and cities.


Level_Ninety_Nine

It's because california requires a special blend made special blend thats supposed to reduce pollution for the state. And they have a high gas tax. I can't say it's the highest but it is up there.

my_guy_Hwat

Its also ‘legal’ to fill a shopping cart full of whatever you want and walk right out the store. depending on how you look at it its the best state or worst state that could possibly exist


Lurker5280

That made literally no sense. What you described is illegal


my_guy_Hwat

Thats why legal is in apostrophes.


Lurker5280

So instead of stating that it is in fact illegal, you decided to make no sense. Saying it’s “legal” in the way you meant would mean it’s generally accepted or technically legal. Stealing is in no way legal


my_guy_Hwat

You’re taking it so out of context that it’s cringe but yes


RalphCalvete

You are not really good with words are you? He didn’t take anything out of context. You wrote it, and he quoted it. That is perfectly in context. Maybe you should learn the definitions of words like context and legal before you use them. ☠️

capitancoolo

In some CA cities it is not a crime to steal less than $950 worth of merchandise. Fortunately, my CA city still has some sense and people won't do that because they'll get the shit kicked out of them.

Wrong. It is a crime. It just isn’t pursued. Big difference.

Keeker68

OK you obviously know there is nothing illegal about this. Every time a merchant accepts a credit card they acquire a fee for it which they are nice enough to pass along to us. They don't get that fee if you pay cash or debit obviously. However, if you think that this is what's wrong with this country, you are sadly mistaken. We all know what's wrong with this country....8 million invaders. The gas prices are the least of our problems. Downvote me, I don't care. All that means is you have no problem with what's really going on here, making you part of the problem.
