Walnut Creek, CA…Gas prices made a bigger jump this past week, with the average for a gallon of regular gasoline going up in California by more than 25 cents to $4.91. The national average is also up by more than 10 cents to $3.26. The last time the national average reached $3.26 was back in September, consistent with the seasonal shift.
“Several factors are driving up the cost of gasoline including refinery maintenance and the switch to summer blend gasoline,” said AAA Northern California Spokesperson Doug Johnson. “Despite the increase, current gas prices remain below what they were this time last year.”
Fuel Prices Around the State:
San Francisco: $5.17
Oakland: $5.05

Trumps economic stupidity is killing our economy. Republicans backing him up. RIGHT UNTIL THEY FINANCIALLY CAN NO LONGER AFFORD EVERY SINGLE THING
What does it take for you magas to see the don and his agents are an enemy within.
He and his pals are attacking most parts of what America had, now taken apart.
His order to rid our NSA infrastructure,cyber security, national defense, weakening America for Putin.
FEMA is absent now at disasters. Those who were flooded with Helene remember FEMA being there, now they are absent. The people affected say we had FEMA with Biden, now gone, we need FEMA here.
How much more are you willing to take before you tell your GOP reps to stop this ? All they are concerned with now is the billionaire tax cuts.
Thanks Republicans, now cult of anti America.
President Donald Trump is more popular now than before he enacted several tariffs on imported goods to the US, which also led to the stock market taking a dip earlier this week as global markets adjusted to the trading plans.
According to a DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners survey that polled over 10,000 voters between March 31 and April 3.
The average republican gains nothing from trumps policies. The benefits go towards the ultra wealthy. MAGA PAYS ALSO … IMPEACH THE FELON
