Gasoline prices where you are?? Up by how much??

My husband told me that gas is $3.44/gal here.

Then he waxed eloquent about wishing we still had our SUV. That truck got 10 mpg. When gas prices were very high, it would cost me $90 to fill it up. I loved it, though, especially stepping on the running board to get in, and being able to go just about anywhere with it, and being able to see from being up so high..
 

When a country goes from being energy independent to energy dependent and shuts down oil pipelines and drilling, you get higher gasoline prices and inflation. Let’s go Brandon.
 

Hi - just wanted to mention gas prices in the state of California - a little town close to Yosemite - $8.59 a gallon. Gas prices are going up because they closed the keystone pipeline and most of our gas is imported now - I hear a lot from Russia - the previous administration had almost all of our gasoline here in the United States. What a terrible calamity - feel sorry for people that have to commute to work - can't remember the town's name but you can google it - wonder how much it will go up.

Glad I live in a small town where I can walk to most places including grocery stores - maybe people will get bicycles or some other means of transportation. Big cities do have streetcars though and buses but am sure their prices will go up too. The best thing is to use oil here not from another country.
 
OK I looked it up again for all of you who are wondering where in California is gas $8.59 a gallon - a town called Gorda which is near Yosemite National Park - this was a few days ago - it could either be higher or lower day to day am sure you know. Outrageous isn't the proper word for this hike - can't find a word in the dictionary for this inflated price.

Gauging? Why are prices so high in CA??? Our prices dropped a few cents per gallon last week to $3.19. I will gas up tomorrow and update.

How will you get back home from such an isolated place? When I was in The Valley of the Kings, just outside of Luxor, there were some young guys who wanted us to pay them for "guarding" our hired bicycles while were inside the tombs. We told them "no". When we emerged from the tombs we found that all the bicycle tyres were "flat". Guess who just happened to have a pump?
 
Here in the San Jose area gasbuddy shows average prices about $4.50 with lowest stations $4.20 and highest over $5.00. Out in the Central Valley prices average about $0.30 less. With ski season imminent, I'll be spending about $70 each round trip to Tahoe.
 
We were almost oil independent here in America but now we are not - we depend on Russia I guess for oil - stupid policies - hope America wakes up quick; otherwise, it's goodbye America.
 
Everything is higher in CA - I used to live there. No more. It has a lot to do with the leaders - not supposed to be political but that is the reason. Do your research - sad but true - so many homelessness and looting - it's really bad - 22 Walgreen stores in SF are closed - look it up and become informed.
 
Gas prices in our area range from $3.09 to $3.19 per gallon, and have been in that range for weeks. The State just passed an small increase in gas taxes....the first increase in almost 20 years...so that will have an effect in coming months.

With Winter coming, those who heat with Natural Gas, or Propane, will see the biggest impact....prices on those supplies are up nearly 50% from last year.
 
$3.29 this week, $3.13 last week. Forget the keystone pipeline myth. Early in the PD, Oil producers deliberately shut down producing wells and laid off many workers here in the NM “oil patch” (right next to Texas where they did it too) so they could reduce expenses and charge more.
 
Ridiculously expensive, which is why I am happy to have a 4-cylinder car. If car inventories ever get back to normal, I am planning to buy an electric vehicle. I also want to do my part for Climate Change.
 
Range between $3.65 & $3.85 Don't need to drive very far for anything so at those prices $20.00 to $25.00 a month usually is enough.
 
Filled my tank last evening and it was 3.29 per gallon at Shell. I haven't gotten gasoline in awhile because I hardly go anywhere and my car is not too bad on gas. I'm in Ohio so that's what the price is here yesterday. I imagine it will go up more and then fluctuate as always.

2012. I remember that vividly! Gas prices at my favorite hometown gas station have gone up 6 cents per gallon since last week to $3.29 per gallon but I bought some in another town on my way to work where it was only $ 3.19 still so that is great. I know where to save 10 cents a gallon and it's on my way anyhow.
