Gas prices have officially gotten so high that once city in California is now charging more than $8 for a single gallon of gasoline.

According to Fox, a Chevron gas station in Los Angeles on the corner of Alameda Street and Cesar E. Chavez Avenue is charging more than $8 for a gallon of regular gasoline and locals are furious.

In a statement Chevron explained, “In addition to the price of oil, other factors include the competitive conditions in the marketplace, the higher cost to produce gasoline to the specifications required by the California Air Resources Board, costs associated with fuel distribution, local, state and federal taxes, California carbon-compliance costs, recent inflationary pressures, and fixed costs of doing business that are often higher in California relative to other states (e.g., the cost of commercial real estate).”
