Our gasoline tax is 58 cents per gallon now. I think it’s the highest in the US.

$152 for the monthly train ticket ...

I haven't pumped gas in a long time because I hardly drive. I had to fill up the 993 after taking it up into the canyons and was shocked - took an entire $50 and wasn't full ...

Gas prices...........

Here in lovely, balmy S. Georgia gas is about $2.29 per gallon as of 2-20-18. The "high price spread" (Shell, BP, etc.) runs about $2.35 per gallon. At one point it had gotten up to $2.49 per gallon.

Why would diesel be $10/gal in Cali and $3.70/gal on the east side?
Are taxes that much different?

They aren't $10/gal in 99% of the state.

That picture is at the base of the Grapevine which has a couple gas stations and are the only ones in either direction for quite a ways. Those stations are known for being insanely high compared to most places.

Almost criminally high....talk about price gouging.

Well, that station is the last gas available before going over the grapevine pass so they're gouging. There's a tiny unaffiliated station up by Mendocino that gouges about the same too. In NorCal we're paying close to $5 for regular everywhere else. Taxes you know, Fed, State, County, City, Clean air taxes
