I know & I'm not sure why. But what parts of the bay area you are talking about? I just got off the phone with my son who lives in Martinez and he said he paid $2.87 the other day. I just checked gasbuddy and Arco on Hegenberger Rd. is $2.89

$2.85 Costco Hayward.

The Chevron was near the Costco Business in Hayward... I had to do a double take.

I don't shop Arco... they don't take the company card.

Wait till you see what the new taxes on pot will do to encourage illicit sales.

https://www.ien.com/regulation/news/...new-pot-market

The increased tax rates are just one part of California's sprawling plan to transform its long-standing medical and illegal markets into a multibillion-dollar regulated economy, the nation's largest legal pot shop. The reshaping of such an expansive illegal economy into a legal one hasn't been witnessed since the end of Prohibition in 1933.


It could be up to a 70 percent jump in price.

Come January, state taxes will include a 15 percent levy on purchases of all cannabis and cannabis products, including medical pot.

Local governments are free to slap on taxes on sales and growing too, and that has created a confusing patchwork of rates that vary city to city, county to county.

In the agricultural hub of Salinas, southeast of San Francisco, voters approved a tax that will eventually rise to $25 a square foot for space used to cultivate the leafy plants, a rate that's equivalent to about $1 million an acre.


It is not about medical use it is all about money for the State from the pot users.

From that article you linked, expat ...

Governments struggling to keep up with the cost of everything from worker pensions to paving streets are eager for the cascade of new tax money from commercial pot sales that could eventually top $1 billion statewide.
More than eager. They are drooling over it.

I paid $341 for a 1995 Ford F250 diesel pickup, but at least I don't have to ever have it smogged. 1995 and before are exempt.........at least for now.

$167 for my 2012 Kia Soul. Paid $3.19 for reg gas yesterday.
