We had reached the $2.90s, but all of a sudden gas is back up to $3.50. It seems like a parachute is connected when gas prices are going down, but there's a rocket booster under the price increases.

Regards,

A little better in my neck of the woods....$3.60 to $3.80 depending on where you go.

Several of the grocery stores in the area have partnered with gas stations and for every dollar spent on groceries, you can get a percentage taken off the price of gas.

Last time I filled up I only had to pay about $2.00 a gallon with that perk.

Oooooo, I need to look into that. You don't drive a Prius, do you? We gas up at Costco when Patty and I are there, it's usually a bit less. Otherwise Arco is where I buy. Isn't it strange how gas is usually cheaper in the more affluent areas?

No, I don't drive a Prius. But I have driven one. That's what we get from the motor pool at work when I use their cars.

$4.09 in North Pacific Beach

Fortunately, I only need about 400 gallons for the year.
