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

MENDOCINO, Calif. - Gas prices at one Northern California gas station are getting very close to $10 a gallon.A Chevron station in Mendocino was charging $9.63 this week for a gallon of regular gas.Aldo Vazquez, who works at AAA Northern California, says it costs more to bring gas to this rural area, so that company has to charge more to stay in business."When you factor in transportation costs, the proximity to pipelines, those can also add up to the price of gasoline," Vaszquez said on Monday. "That’s why we always recommend doing your research because if you can find a different route, you may end up in an area with cheaper prices."It's still expensive to buy gas elsewhere in the country, but way less expensive than California, which has the highest average in the nation hovering around $6.40 a gallon, according to AAA.

She then added: "I was suffering horrendous pain – literally feeling like I’d been stabbed in the stomach – just awful. "And it was causing me so many issues."Big TMI!" Molly-Mae then joked, before sharing: "But my sex life just became non-existent: it was just not part of our relationship."Having undergone surgery for the condition last year and shown off her scars from the procedure, the influencer and PrettyLittleThing Creative director said that her symptoms were so painful she felt like she’d "been hit by a car"."Mine have definitely worsened over the years, I cannot explain the levels of pain I have experienced."I have actually nearly called myself an ambulance on multiple occasions because of the level of pain that I was in."In the same video Molly-Mae explain how sex is "still painful" for her.
