The newly-opened Stars and Stripes gas station in Studio City, Los Angeles, is offering regular gas at just $4.99 per gallon during its opening promotion, significantly below the current county average of $6.09. The company, based in San Diego, operates fifteen locations across Southern California, focusing on affordability with plans to expand further. Calvin Kalasho, whose family owns the chain, emphasized their commitment to providing affordable fuel without gouging customers. However, according to an expert, rising diesel prices could lead to higher costs for holiday shipping and deliveries, potentially reigniting inflation issues despite such promotional offers.
