Gorda, CA: Home of $5.20-A-Gallon Gasoline
Mar 14, 10:20 PM (ET)
GORDA, Calif. (AP) - Try not to run low on gas in the tiny Big Sur town of Gorda, where a gallon of unleaded regular costs $5.20. And it's $5.40 a gallon for premium.
Amerigo Gas Station employee James Willman says at least once a day he gets an earful from motorists who pull into Gorda, which is about 35 miles north of Cambria on scenic Highway 1.
Willman says "they say all kinds of stuff - 'You ought to be shot,' or 'Where's your mask?'"
The good-humored Willman usually responds, "Hey, I just work here."
Many potential customers slow down, look at the price, then keep on rolling.
Station manager Leo Flores says the high price reflects the cost of bringing fuel to the town's remote location as well as its reliance on a diesel generator for all of its power.
