Gas is going for an eye-popping amount at one station along California’s Central Coast.<\/p>\n
The gas station in Gorda, which is located in a remote area of southwestern Monterey County, was selling regular unleaded for $9.40 per gallon this week. Unleaded plus was listed at $9.70 per gallon. Premium unleaded was going for $9.99 per gallon.<\/p>\n
Gas station owner Leo Flores said the pump can’t actually reach $10.<\/p>\n
“The high prices, it’s because we run the place on generators,” Flores said. “We don’t have power. We create our own power here.”<\/p>\n
The station often has the highest gas prices in the country.<\/p>\n
In the Bay Area, gas prices continue to surge. As of Thursday, the average in Oakland was up to $5.92 per gallon. In San Jose, it was $5.88. The average in San Francisco had topped $6 per gallon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gas is going for an eye-popping amount at one station along California’s Central Coast.
