"Over there in LA, we're at about, like, $6 max, which is something that hits everyone like crazy. But here it's $10. I've never seen that, ever."
"Every logistical step drives the price up, and the pumps themselves won't even display anything higher than $9.99, the technical limit on the station's system."
"They probably could charge $20, and if you have to get gas, you have to get gas."
In Gorda-by-the-Sea, gas prices have soared to nearly $10 a gallon, significantly higher than the California average of $5.89. The station owner attributes these prices to logistical challenges, including reliance on generators and the need to transport fuel across difficult terrain. Locals and travelers face limited options for refueling along Highway 1, leading many to fill up only partially. The high prices reflect the cost of isolation, with some drivers suggesting that even higher prices would be acceptable if necessary.
