It's safe to say you can add $1.50 to those prices for CA. I'm digging the EV for local run arounds.

Picked up a Harbor Freight McGraw 2hp 8 gal, compressor for $166. Decided to go with the 150 psi, oilless one, over the 135 psi oiled. I had the 2hp 8gal Black one, Pittsburgh or maybe Chicago Electric, but its acting up.
