There’s nothing like filling up your gas tank and watching your available balance disappear. With no end in sight to rising prices, the Central Coast is one of the most expensive places for gas guzzlers in the entire country.
California has the highest prices in the United States, and three of its 15 highest-priced stations are located on the Central Coast, according to californiagasprices.com.
Shell stations on Monterey and Santa Rosa streets and Los Osos Valley Road and Madonna streets were priced at $3.99 and $3.95 a gallon, respectively, as of Tuesday.
For the cheapest gas in the county, look for reputable or locally owned stations. COSTCO also offers relatively cheap gas to those with a membership card, charging $3.69 per gallon.
