At one Los Angeles gas station, a pair of Hollywood stars will be filling up drivers’ tank for free.
“I Love Boosters” stars Keke Palmer and LaKeith Stanfield plan to personally refuel Angelenos’ rides for the so-called “boosted” gas giveaway at a Shell station on West Pico Boulevard Tuesday morning, according toIndieWire.
The actors will only fill the first 70 drivers’ cars.
“I Love Boosters” is set to hit theaters on May 22 and also stars Poppy Liu, Eiza González, Will Poulter, Don Cheadle, and Demi Moore.
It’s likely that locals will flock to the event, given the sky-high price of gas in California. The average statewideprice for a gallon of regular gascame in at around $6.15 a gallon on Tuesday.
California residents are charged an additional 34 cents to 44 cents per gallon for emissions fees and climate programs.

In the Golden Gate State’s San Bernardino County, where gas is at $6.12,drivers are consciously making the tripto the nearby Mojave, Arizona, across the border to fill up at only $4.83 a gallon.
A big contributor to the price difference is that Arizona charges just 18 cents per gallon in tax.
Blue states have also led the way in raising their gas taxes. California’s state excise tax was 30 cents a decade ago — it’s now nearly twice that.
