I think some of the really old pumps with mechanical displays may be 
limited to 4 digits.

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