The high-priced LA Chevron gas station lowers prices after FOX 11 coverage.

 

Downtown LA gas station lowers prices after FOX 11 coverage.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Gas prices fell below $ 8 per gallon in the center of Chevron, Los Angeles, Almeida, a few cents cheaper than a day earlier when the station reported $ 8 per gallon following a FOX 11 report. Was charging too much.

FOX 11 was asked to vacate the property when we asked staff why gas is more expensive here than anywhere else.

We also contacted the owners of another station nearby, a Shell in Chinatown, to ask why their gas was more than $ 7 per gallon, which is higher than the average in both LA County and California, and Near which is charging from Chevron of Alameda.

Off-camera, Shell's owner says the rent is too high, due to its location, even though it is a small station. He says he has no breaks from Cowid and can only park four cars at a time.

"Give us a break," says Consumer Watchdog's Jamie Court, who insists that anything over $ 6 is still on the rise, even in California with all its surplus fuel. With environmental requirements.

He is behind one of the two bills that made its way through California lawmakers in Washington, seeking to hold gas companies accountable by strengthening the state's anti-govt law - which has not yet been implemented. Unless the Fed, state or local governments declare a state. Of emergency.

We asked the Government Gavin Newsom office if they intended to do so any time soon. He issued the following statement to FOX 11:

"The governor is committed to providing relief to the people of California who are facing higher costs, as evidenced by the proposed .1 18.1 billion inflation relief package - negotiations with the legislature are ongoing." - Daniel Wilsner, Office of the Deputy Press Secretary to the Governor Gavin Newsom

The Consumer Fuel Price Guarantee Prevention Act is partially sponsored by US Representative Katie Porter. It has just been approved by the House of Representatives and aims to reduce hunting prices at the pump.

Even if one of the two passes, it will take some time to implement.

A great way to wholesale

I am an out-of-state buyer. I put a deposit on a car. After walking for two hours, he said get in the car. The car was not ready. The salesman never entered my information and down payment. The car was never serviced or cleaned. The salesperson who decided to hire me after contracting with me did his best. Truth be told, he did it right. However, while I was driving home, the check engine light came on. So I called my sales person and he told me to call the service. I called the service. "They will call me back," he said. Never did So I called back the next day. I decided to talk to my sales person, he connected me with the service manager who told me that I would have to either take the car to the dealership for two hours or he would take me there and he would respect me. Will not provide car. When I asked for a rent and suggested that the car be repaired locally, he told me no! So, my options are to turn the car over and be out of the car and ride to work indefinitely, or to drive my car two hours back and take a day off from work and hopefully That they can fix it. And if not, then what? When I expressed my displeasure, I was told that I had no other choice. So I decided to contact an attorney who decided to contact the attorney general's office. His office said it had received several complaints and was actively investigating the situation. You can buy from a much better dealership. Zero integrity after sale. It's too bad.
