In CA, you are paying the price of boutique gasoline.

You guys are getting away cheap.
Up till today the price here is $1.217 per liter.... about $4.70 per US
gallon.
The regulated prices always change at midnight Thursday...so who knows what
tomorrow will bring.
Soon it might be cheaper to drive to Maine for gas.
