When I got back from Montana, I was glad to see that gas prices were only up another 30 cents in California, relative to when I left.
But they are continuing to rise.
Unleaded Regular is now at $5.69/gallon, the highest I recall seeing it here.
Are gas prices fluctuating where you live?

Prices at the pumps always rise on Fridays and stay there for the weekend, but they go up a little more on Fridays of long weekends, and they are staying put probably close what they are now come next week. Soon they will bring out the winter gasoline, and the prices will drop, but not until late October or early November.

Can you send me some in the mail? Trump said he would pay for shipping and handling. Come on that was funny.

I think yes, but the government is doing whatever they can do.

It's a holiday weekend so of course gas prices are up everywhere.
I haven't used my car in months so don't know what the gas prices were before the weekend.

$5.69 a gallon certainly sounds expensive, especially when the price keeps creeping up. Fuel prices fluctuate here in India too, although we buy petrol by the litre rather than by the gallon. I don't drive myself, but increases in fuel prices still affect everyone because they eventually show up in transport costs and the prices of other things we buy. That's the frustrating part. Even if you don't personally fill up a car, you can still end up paying for higher fuel costs in other ways. Hopefully prices settle down rather than continuing to climb.

I read somewhere Texas had a glut of oil and gas. Everyone stepped up production under Trump to sell on the market to cash in on those high prices. This created a glut Texans could not store so they had to burn off and dump millions of barrels, instead of boosting supply and drawing down supplies in the midwest
