In California, some places charge over $6/gallon. Of course, that goes along with average house price $800,000. Part of the supply chain woes are due to new regs on trucks & prohibitions on independent owner/operators to make unions happy.

No wonder people & businesses are fleeing. Sadly, when they sell their Cali homes & buy in Montana, Nevada, Texas, etc, they inflate real estate prices there as well. I have friends who just moved from decaying Illinois to Texas but couldn't find a place they could afford in Austin. Every winning bid was tens of thousands higher than the ask price!
