So you know what I did, I hit that button and it started pumping and the dollar sign just stayed low!\u201d Surita exclaimed, CBS Sacramento <a href=\"https:\/\/sacramento.cbslocal.com\/2022\/06\/09\/rancho-cordova-gas-price-69-cents\/\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Surita posted the incredible discovery on Instagram and notified his family and friends. Soon, many more people were at the Shell station filling up their cars for the low, low price.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started looking around, and everybody had a smile. Everybody had a big smile, and they kind of were not looking at you in your eyes,\u201d Surita added.<\/p>\n<p>According to CBS Sacramento, the price for premium gasoline was actually supposed to be $6.99 per gallon that day at the station, but a technological error moved the decimal point, making the fuel cheaper.<\/p>\n<p>Eddie Surita, who filled his tank up for just $14, said the scene was \u201ccrazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt turned into a circus within a matter of minutes,\u201d he said to the press.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the American Automobile Association (AAA) <a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/?state=CA\">reported<\/a> that the average gallon of gas in California costs $6.436. Nationally, a gallon of gasoline costs an average of $5.014 per gallon, according to the AAA.<\/p>\n<p>Across the country, gasoline prices are so high that thieves have resorted to innovating ways to steal fuel. On Friday, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/thieves-develop-sophisticated-way-to-steal-gas-as-prices-soar\">reported<\/a> that police are warning about fuel theft in Nevada.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, with the rise in fuel prices, we have an increase in fuel theft,\u201d Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Lt. Jeff Swanbeck <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox5vegas.com\/2022\/06\/08\/metro-gives-fox5-an-inside-look-modified-trucks-targeting-gas-stations\/\">told<\/a>\u00a0Fox 5. \u201cSome gas stations have been hit for thousands of gallons and they will continue to go back until the tank is drained. That is thousands of dollars in losses for these gas stations and sometimes it almost gets to the point where it puts them out of business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese thieves are very sophisticated,\u201d Swanbeck added. \u201cThey will take a truck that looks just like a normal truck, like a freeway service truck, and there is intricate [piping] inside them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire also recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/californians-struggle-under-high-gas-prices-ahead-of-primaries\">reported<\/a> that gas prices in California are some of voters\u2019 biggest concerns heading into the 2022 election cycle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re beyond furious \u2014 it\u2019s called desperation,\u201d Representative Lou Correa (D-CA) recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/06\/06\/us\/politics\/gas-prices-california-politics-democrats.html\">told<\/a> the media.\u201cI don\u2019t hear anything about the other national issues we\u2019re focusing on in Washington.
