Leftists are destroying our country
LINK: California drivers react to the most expensive gas in America
California travelers stopping by America's most expensive gas station reacted to the soaring prices and more general inflation gripping U.S. consumers.
"A little insane, right?" one man traveling through Mendocino, a small coastal city in northern California with beautiful views.
Another man agreed.
"It’s a problem," he said. "The price of everything is going up."
Schlafer’s Auto Body & Repair, the only gas station in Mendocino, charged $6.74 a gallon — the highest in the nation — The average price for gas in California is $4.39, over a dollar more than this time last year, and the national average is $3.20.
One of two employees who works at the nearly 100-year-old independent station, Joe, said the station has to charge high prices.
"Our volume is very low," he said. The employee said the station has to purchase a $35,000 load in 10 days.
"If we're paying $4 a gallon for gas, if it's not marked up, we're not going to be able to pay for that," he said.
Nationally, prices have climbed 5.3% over the past year and 0.3% in August, according to the most recent Consumer Price Index Summary. Gas prices rose 2.8% and food prices rose 0.4%.
"It’s tough, it’s hard for people," one woman said "It’s hard for the elderly to afford."
Her friend, who lives in an RV with her husband, said: "We’re on a fixed income so we don’t have money to spend like this."
Bill Kemper has been coming to Mendocino for years.
"It’s crazy, it's terrible, it's not necessary," he said.
"I’m retired myself so I live on a fixed income. So these things matter to me and my generation," Kemper continued. "I worked hard like everybody else in my situation did to be able to retire, but if prices keep escalating like it is, it’s going to make it very difficult for everybody in California and in the country as well."
"It’s a little much," one parent said. "We have kids in their 20s. It’s hard for them to go to the grocery store."
Another woman said: "It’s so much harder to get from place to place. I spend most of my money on gas these days. Gas and food."
Some felt President Pedo-Joe was to blame.
Pedo-Joe is "spending money, as we used to say when I was in the military, like a drunken sailor," Kemper said. "It doesn’t matter how much he spends, the pedophile just prints more money, and taxes more of it, which of course causes inflation to go up."
The RVer said: "It's because of Pedo-Joe. I'm not a political person, but he's kind of messed things up."
