Out in Northern CA they take any opportunity to raise prices, LOL (most Gulf oil goes to the East Coast, not the West). Prices rose $.30/gall or more within a week.

Now running $3.19 reg/$3.39 prem at 'name' station, up to $3.59 reg/$3.79 prem at a Shell. Union 76 and Mobil/Exxon are the cheapest name brands; Shell and Chevron are almost always the highest due to the extra detergent additives they add.

I didn't know that was the reason for Chevron and Shell being higher. In Fresno I always go to the Chevron near my house even though it's the highest price...not worth driving to save a few cents for me.
 
I passed a gas station today and the rate was 2.59 per gallon. I'm not going to get any until my tank is almost empty. Maybe by then it will go down in price some. :)
 

Gas has gone up $.05........I paid $2.27 per gallon for 100% 89 octane gas this morning, the last time I topped off the pickup it was $2.22 which was about three weeks ago.
 
It's $3.19 per gallon for 87-octane self-serve here in Southern California, and $4.00 in San Francisco.

But even at $4, it's still a bargain!

Look at these prices from a recent Bloomberg compilation:

Japan: $4.90

South Korea: $5.31

Canada: $5.75

Australia: $6.75

England: $8.84

Italy: $9.35

And to think that I paid 20 cents a gallon when I got my first car in 1952! (My Dad said that he paid a dime per gallon!)

A recent Bloomberg compilation shows worldwide gasoline prices per gallon at:

Japan: $4.90
South Korea: $5.31
Canada: $5.75
Australia: $6.75
U.K: $8.84
Italy: $9.35

Even at $4 per gallon, the US is getting a Bargain! Up here in the High Desert, we're paying $3.04.

Sounds strange for someone who paid $.020 per gallon in 1952 when I started driving on the highways. (My Dad paid a dime a gallon!)

I ask because I'm in the market for a car, and I wonder if the extra cost is worth the savings in gas.
