Cars lined up at the Stars and Stripes gas station in Miramar on Monday morning as California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton and state controller candidate Herb Morgan offered gas at $3 per gallon, according to FOX 5 San Diego.

The event aimed to draw attention to the possibility of lowering fuel prices in California, with Hilton stating it could "open their eyes that we can actually go back to" lower gas costs, FOX 5 reported.
