I remember being offered a job in California when I graduated, with abpretty nice salary, and then laughing when I checked the cost of living difference.

average (Average) household income in Ca is 167k. If you drive 12000 miles a year at 20 mpg at 8.00 per gallon, then that is 3% of household income. YMMV, :)

There is a reason people are leaving California.
It was once a beautiful state.
Socialism ruins everything.

Where I usually gas up at a Circle K store, it's currently $3.20/gal. Across town at another Circle K store, it is $2.97/gal.

Maybe some are moving in?
Maybe so, maybe not. Not the impression I get from the numerous Californians I run into who recently moved to TN. But I am sure you hear what you listen for. Maybe thatā€™s why California allows so many illegals, so they can try to keep the population

Agree. But if one gas station in SC was selling gas at $5.00 gal it would be a headline story.
I remember when, at the outset of one Middle East production slowback - it might have been during the war in Iraq, a convenience store alongside I-95 in Savannah immediately raised prices to $6.00. That wasn't sustainable but it certainly garnered headlines nationwide.
