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?

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

@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.

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.

Oil prices have taken a big drop. Hopefully we will see this change at the pump....or not.

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.
