Why one California gas station is charging nearly $10 a gallon

California gas prices are rising again, and in one remote stretch of the Central Coast, they have nearly hit $10 a gallon.

At Gorda by the Sea in Big Sur, the only gas station for miles is charging $9.99 a gallon. Leo Flores, who owns the Highway 1 station and much of the surrounding hamlet, told the Los Angeles Times that the price is not a gimmick. It is the most his pumps can display.

"The software only goes to $10," Flores told the Times.

Flores said the station, along with the rugged hamlet's market, cafe, hotel and cabins, runs on gasoline-powered generators because the area is not connected to a power grid. That helps explain why prices there are so far above the state average.
