Ha, maybe my discussion with the RP Costco manager about why the Santa Rosa and Redwood City stores were so much cheaper jinxed the other stores. He didn't have an answer that made any sense.The Salem Costco's premium went up 2 cents.
Redwood City took a bludgeoning with the price of regular going up 16 cents ($4.659) and premium going up 20 cents ($4.999). Rohnert Park seems much less put upon now.
Gasoline pricing doesn't seem to make much sense as it is. An understanding of petroleum futures is far above most people's heads.He didn't have an answer that made any sense.
As of January California gas tax is 69.8 cents per gallon.Gasoline pricing doesn't seem to make much sense as it is. An understanding of petroleum futures is far above most people's heads.
The price going up is trivial to explain in geopolitical terms.
Why the sometimes huge differentials (excluding local taxes) exist is a puzzler indeed.
The one constant is that when the price gets near a round dollar, it will take a push to get it to go past (either way). It is sad that that dollar figure is now $5 for Northern California.
I will remind everyone that the California gas tax is 59.6 cents per gallon. Oregon is 38 cents and Oklahoma is 19 cents.
I didn't come across this in my research.As of January California gas tax is 69.8 cents per gallon.
Yes, you are correct. The one place I found that figure was AI generated. The CA site shows it correctly.I didn't come across this in my research.
The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration doesn't show this in their table:
Sales Tax Rates for Fuels

There is reportedly a 59-65 cent increase coming (probably July 1st as this is historically -- since 2019 -- the day that they raise the gas tax rate).
There are around half a dozen components (including sales tax and something called "sales tax pre-payment") to the net "tax" figure so it is very complicated.
