I was looking for the LA Times article because I wanted to see what part of LA he was from and I found this: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/gold-member/ I realize Snopes isn't very reliable either but when I couldn't find anything from the LA Times, I have to think they're correct. Just wishful thinking on my part... Looks can be deceiving, but in this case, I think his looks tell us all we need to know. 6 hours ago, Buckshot Bear said: 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) 21 hours ago, Alpo said: That would be a much more compelling photograph if we knew for a fact that it was taken in California. Gas right now, here, is running right at $3. The highest it's been since Brandon took over is just under 4. And it has been down to real close to 2 several times. So $1.68 ain't all that impressive. But I have seen comments that California gas is running a close second to British gas. 7-8-9 dollars a gallon. So if California gas was $1.68, pre-Brandon, and is now 8 or 9 dollars - that would be an impressive statement. Gas Price History Nation wide the average price in 2020 was $2.17. For 2023 it was $3.22. That's an increase of 149%. Here is a chart showing the national average price of gasoline for the last 5 years.

Gas in California in November 2020 was around $3.25 per gallon. In 2022 here in Sonoma County it got up close to $7, in San Francisco, Los Angeles and some other areas it was close to $10. Yesterday while we were out and about, i noticed it is close to $5/gallon. We haven't seen under $2/gallon in over a decade. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I did not say it says California. I said that if it definitely said California - like California plates on the car or maybe something easily legible on the pump that said California - that it would be a more compelling picture.

The point is that gas costs a LOT more now than it did 3 years ago! Here's a chart of gas prices in Tucson from 2020 until now. There's a CLEAR trend. Edited March 6 by Sgt. C.J.
