Here's why gas is $6 a gallon in California, even as prices fall elsewhere
CNN
For many drivers in California, the possibility of paying $6 a gallon for gas is no longer something to worry about down the road. It's already a reality.
In Los Angeles County, by far the nation's most populous with more than 10 million residents, gas now has reached an average price of $6.02 a gallon, according to AAA. Gas prices have also crossed the $6 mark in a few mostly rural California counties, while other population centers such as San Diego, San Francisco, Orange and Ventura counties, are within pennies of $6 a gallon.
California prices continue to spike even as the national average has been falling — slowly but steadily — for the last two weeks.

It was almost an extraordinary scene in front of the White House. As Tesla shares have been tanking since the year began, President Donald Trump held remarks outside of the White House with the company’s CEO and Department of Government Efficiency Head Elon Musk – all in front of a line of shiny Tesla vehicles.
