Map shows California gas prices far outpace the U.S. average

A nationwide map from GasBuddy and AAA shows California’s regular-gas price around $5.70 per gallon, dramatically higher than the U.S. average near $3, highlighting a large price gap. The article attributes much of California’s premium to state taxes, climate-related fees, and the state’s unique fuel blend, with refinery closures cited as a contributing factor. It also notes warnings from oil executives that continued climate policies could push prices even higher, potentially above $8 per gallon.
