Peninsula gas station charges $7.09 per gallon for regular: A gas station on the Peninsula is giving drivers some extreme sticker shock.
nbcbayarea.com/news/local/peninsula/menlo-park-gas-station-prices/3519417/
Quick Glance: Menlo Park Gas Station Charges $7.09 Per Gallon for Regular
- A gas station on the Peninsula is causing extreme price shocks for drivers. The Chevron station in Menlo Park is charging $7.09 per gallon for regular, $7.45 for plus, and $7.69 for supreme. This is at least a dollar higher than neighboring stations and well above the California average of $5.42.
- According to AAA, gas stations set their own prices, and it depends on when they purchase their gas. If they buy their gas wholesale when oil prices are high, they need to sell it at that price to make a profit.
- AAA Northern California spokesperson John Treanor mentioned that gas prices have been elevated recently due to increased demand in spring, higher costs of the summer blend, and rising crude oil prices influenced by Middle East turmoil.
- AAA states that gas prices are expected to stabilize at this point.
