I think some of the really old pumps with mechanical displays may be
limited to 4 digits.

Y'all missing OP's point here: This isn't a gas price
survey--and I doubt Herb really gives a shit about
Californians' suffering--it's just (yet another)
underhanded dig at California (note he shows no concerns
for Canadians, who have been paying even higher prices
for decades, and they can only buy liters, which are
smaller than gallons). Gas prices are generally higher
in the East and West Coasts and, as others have noted
$7.50/gal is an outlier that happens on occasion and
usually at more remote locations (there's a station on
Highway 1 way north of SF that gets in the news with
extreme pricing; it's a slog to get tankers up there).<br>
<br>
We 'from California' may grumble a bit but, for the most
part we are delighted at the visible improvement in our
air quality over the last few decades. Having spent my
entire 70+ years in CA I can vouch for its improved
cleanliness and breathe-ability (sorry, Bakersfield)
and, since I generally like to breathe I appreciate it.
We Californians find ways to deal with inconveniences;
many have 'gone electric,' the rest of us just try to
make the best use of whatever petroleum products we need
to use. Note I have 4 cars (2 Healeys), a pickup, two
old farm tractors, a JD Gator, a zero-turn, rototiller,
edger and 3 2-stroke chainsaws, which will be banned in
a couple years but I can all but build one from scratch
from readily available parts online. We used to burn our
orchard trimmings, which severely impacted air quality
in the Central Valley, but most now pay more to have
them chipped and hauled off, even though burning is
still allowed (we Californians are kinda goofy, to be
sure).<br>
<br>
We do appreciate your concern, Herb. Now, if I could
just get 93-octane for my Mustang ...<br>
