Gasoline Sticker Shock Shocks Tourists Along Highway One

If you think you're paying a hefty price at the pump, wait until you see what we found at a gas station just south of the Bay Area.

NBC11's Bob Redell traveled to the city of Gorda where a gas station is charging $5.40 for a gallon of full service premium. It just might be the most expensive gas in the country, Redell reported.

Gorda is in Monterey County along Highway 1 and the closest gas station is 40 miles away.

Tourists couldn't believe what they were seeing, NBC11 reported.

Many said they would never pay that much for a gallon of gas. Others said they had no choice.
