HB Concours | Big Weekend | Gas Price Jump?!

iDSC Weekly - 6.4.25

Good morning,

We’re rolling up on another big weekend of awesome automotive events here in Southern California!

And while we keep motoring along, the gas policy and price issue in our state is a growing problem. It’s not going away. Could we actually see a 65-cent spike in just weeks?!

I’m working on an interview with CA Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones to get insight and clarity on the issue. And I hope to have that for you next week.

All the news and events are linked below.

Keep driving,
