Peninsula gas station charges $7.09 per gallon for regular
Quick Glance: Menlo Park Gas Station Charges $7.09 Per Gallon for Regular
  • A gas station on the Peninsula is causing extreme price shocks for drivers. The Chevron station in Menlo Park is charging $7.09 per gallon for regular, $7.45 for plus, and $7.69 for supreme. This is at least a dollar higher than neighboring stations and well above the California average of $5.42.

  • According to AAA, gas stations set their own prices, and it depends on when they purchase their gas. If they buy their gas wholesale when oil prices are high, they need to sell it at that price to make a profit.

  • AAA Northern California spokesperson John Treanor mentioned that gas prices have been elevated recently due to increased demand in spring, higher costs of the summer blend, and rising crude oil prices influenced by Middle East turmoil.

  • AAA states that gas prices are expected to stabilize at this point.

Quick Glance: Israeli Strike Damages Iranian Air Defense System Without Detection, Officials Say
  • An Israeli airstrike on Iran on Friday damaged an air defense system, according to Western and Iranian officials, and appeared calculated to deliver a message that Israel could bypass Iran’s defensive systems undetected and paralyze them.

  • The strike damaged a defensive battery near Natanz, a city in central Iran that is critical to the country’s nuclear weapons program, according to the officials.

  • The relatively limited scope of Israel’s strike and the muted response from Iranian officials, however, seem to have eased tensions.

  • It was confirmed that Israel had deployed aerial drones and at least one missile fired from a warplane, as stated by three Western and two Iranian officials.
