Yeppres, gas prices are up another 20 cents in sunny California. The price of Regular is $5.92 at my discount station. It is above $6.00 at Chevron. My gas station guy (the one I speak to in French--he's from North Africa) says they are having supply issues with basic items like cigarettes. And "we" voted for this. Or not. Are gas prices continuing to rise where you live as well?

Yeah, they're going up here too. It's insane!!!! It's in times like this that I'm glad I don't have a car.

@dodo19 I wish I lived in an area where I didn't have to have a car.

I would be lost without a car. But thankfully, Guitar Center is only about ten minutes from me.

@LeaPea2417 In California, I'd be lost without a car .It was a five mile trip to visit my horse. But no bus lines ran out there

Sadly yes, not that high....but we are up to about $4.50. Our cheap gas stations went up to $4.44 when they were in the $4.20s just on Saturday.

Do you know people who voted for Donald Trump in 2024? I actually may. It's all so odd.

Yes, the price for a gallon of gas at Walmart jumped from around $3.60 to $3.94 overnight. And no, I didn't vote for trump! No right-minded person did!

@DaddyEvil Did Americans really vote for this? Or was Russian meddling more prevalent than we realized? I do not know.

I didn't vote for this. Everything he said Harris would do is happening. I guess she is an invisible president at this point.

Life is a "projective test" for Donald Trump. But I cannot feel sorry for him. "Christian compassion" is my limit.

20c is a fair sort of hike. I guess we should be grateful that we haven't run out of petrol - yet.

They have pretty much hovered around $4.75 to $5.00 for over a week. This morning, $4.93 I think. I used to use an app called gas buddy, to check which stations near me was the cheapest--until the nuttiness started recently. I have discovered that in my area, the gas buddy app does not even attempt to keep up with updating the prices, so it's become useless.

Again, close to ten per cent. We live in odd times. I know at least two, and maybe three, people who voted for Trump in 2024. Do you know people who may have voted for Trump in 2024? .
