LOS ANGELES, CA-JUNE 1, 2022: Richard Thomas, 41, of Fontana, pays close attention to how many gallons of gas he is buying while filling up his nearly empty tank at the Chevron gas station, located at the intersection of Cesar. E. Chavez Ave. and Alameda Street in downtown Los Angeles. The price of gas at this station is almost $8 a gallon. Thomas said that he forgot to fill up back in Fontana, and drove down to Los Angeles to attend the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game. He ended up buying 3 gallons of gas, just enough to get back home after the game. (Mel Melcon / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images)
