A Californian expresses his shock at the 'insane' gas prices he spotted while taking a recent road trip in the state.
Last month, he posted a picture on Facebook showing the price of premium gas at $6.99 per gallon in downtown Los Angeles, and a line at agas station in the city the next day that was so long employees were out coordinating traffic, when he says a gallon of premium was $5.69 at the retailer.
The line at a Costco gas station in Los Angeles, California, on March 10 where the price for a gallon of premium gasoline was $5.69. "I'm overlooking Brentwood in Beverly Hills right now," Shupe told FOX Business on Wednesday, while still on his road trip. "You know, these people in $10-$15 million dollar mansions as their third home aren't worried about a 50-60% increase in gas prices, but for the 38 million Californians that don't live like that – this absolutely affects them on an everyday basis. They have to cut corners and clip coupons.
Shupe said that someone who was on the trip with him is in their 60s told him, "This is like the Carter era and it's just out of control."
