Funny thing is when Americans complain about the price of gas. In the past 2 years I have been to Malaysia, Mexico, Panama, Spain and Canada among others and gas is more expensive in other countries than it is here. Just paid $2.27/ gallon. I doubt I will see even $5/gallon gas in my lifetime.
Didn't $5 per gallon gas happen in California back in 2011 or so?
California, before yesterday, had its own emission standards and literally has its own fuel formulation required by state law. This "boutique" fuel formulation makes California fuel quite a bit more expensive than other states and also requires auto manufacturers to use some more expensive materials in the fuel system that don't break down due to some corrosive additives.I dont recall but it is strange how different state taxes are that gas can vary so much state to state...
