Where $10 Per Gallon Gas Is About To Be A Reality – By Lauren Dubois (IB Times) / June 4, 2022
Americans all across the country have been feeling the pain of exceptionally high gas prices in recent months, but those in one specific area of the country will soon be facing perhaps a price that never seemed possible before- $10 per gallon.
While the national average in the United States according to AAA is currently $4.81 a gallon, the average price in California, which has the highest prices in the country, is $6.29. But in the village of Mendocino, a coastal community north of San Francisco, one gas station is closing in on the $10/gallon mark. The New York Post reports that a Chevron station there was charging $9.60 a gallon on Friday.
The station, Schlafer’s Auto Body & Repair, is the only one in the small town, and according to Gas Buddy, as of Saturday, prices there were at $9.63 for regular, $9.72 for midgrade, $9.94 for premium and $9.30 for diesel. According to a breakdown by county in California by AAA, the average cost per gallon in all of Mendocino County is currently $6.31 per gallon. That number matches data reported to Gas Buddy, which shows gas stations topping out at the highest price otherwise at $6.09 per gallon at a Quest Mart in Ukiah and a Redwood Valley station in Redwood Valley.
