That station is always an outlier and not at all representative of prices in LA. Right across the street from that place they sell gas for a normal price.

Everyone in LA laughs every time someone references that gas station because it's clearly either a trap (for tourists/rental cars on an expense account) or a front for a mob.

Just as an example, right now gas prices are around the $5.00-5.40 range (5.40 for premium).

That gas station is currently at $6.60/gal for regular. There's a chevron right down the street for $5.15/gal
