In some areas, the cost of a gallon of regular gasoline is well under $5, but during a protest outside of the Phillips 66 refinery in Wilmington, some people called out big oil companies over alleged "price gauging" and reported record-high profits.On the surface, it looks like an early holiday gift. The average cost of a gallon of regular gasoline in Los Angeles County is $5.11, $1.38 less than the record set in October."Gas prices being down is a wonderful thing.
"We don't deserve, as working class Black and brown folks, to have to pay more for billionaires to get more and more money every day," said Edwards.
I didn’t even receive that $350 gas card 😂😂😂
Gouged every day by CAgovernor CASenateDems & the state taxes
The oil executive should just not go to the the meeting I think they should just stop drilling in California and close the refineries. We’ll see what hair gel guy does then. Oh by the way hair gel is a petroleum product
Gouging? Those oil companies must really, really hate us Californians…
ca officials are the reason why it’s expensive, high takers and lack of approved refineries, special blends that can’t be imported, you vote democrat you get the results of incompetence
Oil companies may or may not be gouging, but gas taxes are being gouged also. Why not investigate that more extensively.
LoL, grilling for show. nothing will happen. CA officials are already paid off
Gavin Newsom with all the liberal and corrupt politicians in Sacramento, are responsible for the high energy prices and for the highest inflation in 50 years. I did not vote for these jerks. GavinNewsom
Will they show up? Question should be phrased will the media show up and cover their responses.
the problem is California and the taxes. But go ahead and blame the companies selling the gas.
It's about time
Try grilling the grocery stores
Meanwhile there has been a huge surge in Tesla and battery charger fires in the state.. causing loss of property and injuries.. where is the media on this!! The gasses that a lithium battery releases is toxic!! It will kill you and your family!!
These are private companies. Can give two damns about what USA thinks regarding its profit margins. If democrats cared enough? Go and drill your own oil. You got no problem buying over seas. Biden just told Chevron to drill in South America. Drill your own oil
Been there, seen that, big yawn. It's just political white noise. Bottom line, CA gas will always be 2 bucks more than the rest of the US just like rents and real estate. Californians are just plain phukked.
Hopefully these officials can find out why oil companies seem to only be greedy in California. Because it would never be California's fault, no, impossible.
Yeah right.
The officials should look in the mirror for the culprit
The guy says middle class black and brown people don’t deserve these prices. It is fine for the middle class whites? Asians? What kind of racist BS are you peddling ?
Sam's Club yesterday. Tell me branded stations are not gouging as well.
Oil companies:
What dip
Where's that calif investigation group? Didn't our wizard tell us he was going to investigate gouging?

So just cause gas is under $5, you think it’s low enough for people not to complain?
'Well under $5' what a clown show.
Because it is price gauging, why the quotation? You guys taking money from big oil?
Right
WhT the refineries do is a direct result to biden’s jerk political moves… in the name of ‘climate change’
“Alleged”. You can say what you want about Putin, but I believe him when he said the US is full of garbage when our government blames it on them.
They are ignorant, ill-informed and just looking for attention!!! Check out the profits from prior years!!!
'Big oil companies' do not set the price of gasoline just like 'big farms' do not set the price of corn.
Imagine when they find out about the added taxes and California blends 😅
