Y'all missing OP's point here: This isn't a gas price survey--and I 
doubt Herb really gives a shit about Californians' suffering--it's just 
(yet another) underhanded dig at California (note he shows no concerns 
for Canadians, who have been paying even higher prices for decades, and 
they can only buy liters, which are smaller than gallons). Gas prices 
are generally higher in the East and West Coasts and, as others have 
noted $7.50/gal is an outlier that happens on occasion and usually at 
more remote locations (there's a station on Highway 1 way north of SF 
that gets in the news with extreme pricing; it's a slog to get tankers 
up there).

We 'from California' may grumble a bit but, for the most part we are 
delighted at the visible improvement in our air quality over the last 
few decades. Having spent my entire 70+ years in CA I can vouch for its 
improved cleanliness and breathe-ability (sorry, Bakersfield) and, since 
I generally like to breathe I appreciate it. We Californians find ways 
to deal with inconveniences; many have 'gone electric,' the rest of us 
just try to make the best use of whatever petroleum products we need to 
use. Note I have 4 cars (2 Healeys), a pickup, two old farm tractors, a 
JD Gator, a zero-turn, rototiller, edger and 3 2-stroke chainsaws, which 
will be banned in a couple years but I can all but build one from 
scratch from readily available parts online. We used to burn our orchard 
trimmings, which severely impacted air quality in the Central Valley, 
but most now pay more to have them chipped and hauled off, even though 
burning is still allowed (we Californians are kinda goofy, to be sure).

We do appreciate your concern, Herb. Now, if I could just get 93-octane 
for my Mustang ...
