While it costs $5.15 for a gallon of gas in Sacramento, the Auto Club national average is $3.078. In Texas today (as of this writing), a gallon of gas will cost you $2.45 to $3.29 – the average in Texas is $2.68.
So … why the difference?
It’s all in one letter: D.
From January 1995 through Jan. 20, 2025, Democrat-led Californians have been paying, on average, 13.1% more for their gasoline than the rest of the nation. Not surprisingly, the average price of retail gasoline in California on March 11, 2025, was $4.694 a gallon, or 52.35% higher per gallon for all formulations than the national average price for gasoline at $3.081, according to the Auto Club.
Voting Democrat means paying 50% more for the same gas, and getting worse roads, more crime, more fires, more waste, more incompetence, and higher taxes, too.
