Price gouging is a made up, fictitious concept. The price is always as high as the market will bear, and we don't call the prices we're used to "gouging". We only call it gouging when the supply and demand sets a price that we really don't like.
The only way petrol stations could get away with artificially high prices is if they were all colluding.
If you're upset at the prices, just know that CA has the highest taxation on petrol of all the states. No matter what the cost of petrol is, 80 cents is baked in as taxes.
