@Chuckster70  Congrats Chuck.  Looks like you escaped before Washington went full Calolfornia.

California no longer has the most expensive gas prices in the country

We're #2! We're #2!

I just returned from a trip to Spokane. The cheapest gas that I found there was $4.29 at Costco (I filled up there before leaving). Most stations were at least $4.69, and some exceeded $5.

As soon as I crossed into Idaho, prices dropped significantly. Same thing in Montana. I paid $3.89 at Costco before leaving.

Gas prices in Montana were all around $4 when I was there last week. Funny thing is, I couldn't tell you if they were that much cheaper than here in California. I hardly ever buy gas.

Gas tax is increasing by 4 cents. Gas companies: "Better increase gas prices by 9 cents."

Yep! Thanks. Totally unexpected. Our daughter will be 13 months when our son is born. I might have to go AWOL from AW for a while.

Is it too late to recommend this?

Our son is now 10 months, and our daughter turns 2 in exactly two weeks. 

I'm no longer a "new dad" but would still call myself "freaked out" from time to time. Such as today in the car when both kids were scream-crying simultaneously, like a symphony of shrieking.

Passed by a Shell on Olympic near San Vincente yesterday.   Lowest price they had listed was $7.79.  Makes me wonder how much drug money is laundered there.

Still time to invest in XOM or CVX stock.

LA average gas price tops $6 – NBC Los Angeles

as of last friday, gas prices in LA had gone up on 49 of the last 54 days. if it isn't happening yet, there'll be a point where the airheads in sacramento point to the increase in gas prices to push some more for all of us to have electric cars.

for those with ECs, do the prices in charging your car fluctuate like gas prices do?

California fees and taxes are about $1.10/gal. Cost of oil is currently about $2/gal. The rest is just corporate greed.

“Oil costs are putting upward pressure on pump prices, but the rise is tempered by much lower demand,” Andrew Gross, a AAA spokesperson, said in a statement. “The slide in people fueling up is typical, with schools back in session, the days getting shorter, and the weather less pleasant. But the usual decline in pump prices is being stymied for now by these high oil costs.”

AAA said although gas demand has decreased, increased oil prices have pushed the price at the pump higher too.

[T.G.]

Gas prices went up in August for two primary reasons:

• Crude oil prices are up largely because both Saudi Arabia and Russia have reduced their production. Both are part of OPEC+, which started cutting supplies of crude oil last year in order to shore up the market. When crude oil costs go up, gas prices do, too. 

• Oil prices are also higher due to high temperatures over the summer that have made it more difficult for refineries to produce enough gasoline to meet demand.

You guys are naive if you think the Calolfornia government is the reason gas prices are so high.
