I noticed that California just passed an increase in gas tax...12 cents on gas, and 20 cents on diesel...to help pay for the increasing need for road a bridge repairs. That may push that states gas prices over $3 a gallon, in some locales. Additionally, they are going to be charging a fee on electric vehicles...which is a good idea, since these cars beat up the roads just as much as a conventional car. I am all for an increase in gas taxes...IF that money is used to maintain the roads and bridges. I would rather pay a few cents more for gas, and drive on good roads, than having to dodge potholes and pay for car repairs.

Yep,starting in November we will be paying 12 cents per gallon more. And I can pretty much guarantee we won`t be seeing much in the way of road repairs. All that money is likely going to go to repair the slides and such that have wiped out some of the roads. Not likely much will be done about all the potholes we all are dealing with.

We are currently at 2.91 per gallon. I always have Safeway reward points that give me .20 off per gallon at Chevron,so I pay 2.71.
 

For at least three months, there's been a very large pot hole just past my mailbox and some of the neighbors keep filling it in.

I hit a pot hole on the main road a few years ago and got a flat tire.

Since I don't drive my car much anymore, lately, I just fill it up with gas once a month.
 
I dont know the price of gas where I live, and for me it doesn't matter. Recently I sold my vehicle and I'm out of the driving game forever.
 
Most of the stations around here have been steady at $1.99/gal for regular gas HOWEVER, up the road a piece there is a gas war going on and one station was at $1.69 over the weekend. Not sure what it is today and I don't need gas yet.
 
No longer my worry since I hung up my car keys. I occasionally treat my chauffeur (daughter) to a tank but she makes choice as to station and cost. I just hand her my credit card.

Just topped off the pickup again and surprisingly gas has dropped to $2.05 per gallon.

I say surprisingly because it seems like it always goes up around a upcoming holiday (July 4th).
 
Gas $2.12 in our area. Had $1/gallon fuel points at Kroger. Kroger sets maximum 35 gallon per fill-up using fuel points. Wife and I took car and truck over last night when we could get both vehicles at the same pump. Filled the car and topped off the truck. Squeezed in 34.19 gallon. Paid $1.12 and saved almost $35.

I filled the truck up again yesterday afternoon and gas went up $.05 since June 24th to $2.12.
 
Cheap gas is a double edged sword. The lower the price of gas, the less the CPI that determines your Social Security COLA will be.
