LOS ANGELES — Marvis Joy thought it was bad enough that the gas he was pumping into his Jeep Wrangler cost $7.85 for a gallon of regular. But he was taken aback when he heard how much that same gallon cost at that same downtown Los Angeles Chevron station just two days earlier.
An eye-popping $8.05.
"You've got to be kidding me," Joy said Thursday morning, noting that you'd never see such an outrage in his hometown of St. Louis.
