In 2014, the average price for gas in California fluctuated around $3.50 to $4.00 per gallon, with prices often being higher than the national average due to factors like taxes, environmental regulations, and refinery issues. Throughout the year, prices peaked during the summer months. Overall, California consistently ranked among the states with the highest gas prices in the U.S. during that year.
Gas prices are usually the same or sometimes a bit more compared to gas prices in California. The average according to Central America Data is $4.51

Gas prices in the summer of 2004 was about $2.30 in California. It's funny how we used used to complain about the gas prices back then. Gas prices are at record highs right now just as it was in 2004. We need to find a efficient, yet reliable alternative to gas as fast as possible.
Higher gas prices, more tax money.
