Gas prices are going up again in California. Are they doing so where you live? / myLot

Several months ago, some people in California were paying almost six dollars a gallon for Regular gasoline. Then gas prices started to drop here. As recently as a month or to ago, I was paying $5.09/gallon for gas at my local station. But recently, they've started going up again. Regular is now $5.29 at my local station, and even more at "big name" stations like Chevron. Have gas prices started going up again where you live?

Had not last week when I got gas. But they will use all these storms as an excuse.

There's always an excuse. Why did I not buy Chevron's stock when I was younger?

I think it is about the same here. It's $4.81.

That's pretty high. Would you fill up in you went to Montana? I bet it's cheaper there.

@TheHorse ......It is about 80 cents less. I'm sure glad I don't drive.

They shot up nearly 50c a gallon today. I can tell you why: Hurricane Ian. There’s a possibility that they may have to shut down the oil rigs in the Gulf, so they’re going to avoid the rush and raise prices NOW. I think they call it “price gouging,” except nobody every charges the oil companies with it….

Exactly. After I wrote this post, I went by my gas station. Prices had jumped another thirty cents. In one day. Price-gouging IS an inconvenience for us regular citizens, isn't it?

@TheHorse — absolutely. However, given how the oil companies are closer to politicians than the pens in their shirt pockets, there’s next to no chance of anything being done about the gas price gouging.
