The average price for unleaded regular gasoline has hopped past $5 in Napa County, Sonoma County, San Francisco, Marin County and San Mateo County, according to the AAA gasoline survey for the Bay Area, as of 7 a.m. on Thursday.
Santa Clara County, Alameda County, Contra Costa County and Solano County were no more than a few pennies away from the forbidding $5 benchmark, AAA reported.
Alameda County average prices were at $4.999 a gallon Thursday morning.
The last time gas got this expensive - bad things happened.
I just took a look at the futures market, https://www.cnn.com/business/markets/commodities
ReplyDeleteOil $110 & $112 a barrel and gasoline futures are $3.35!
The gasoline is not a record at https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/gasoline (look at the "All" chart) but it is darn close!
I think(?) they just mean in California. You can find cheap gas at 4.67 as of yesterday. That will cost you about a hundy to fill up an average truck. Thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteDiesel was at 5 bucks a gallon though.
Everybody's gas is based off the futures market, the west coast just pays extra (and some more extra for Calif!).
ReplyDeleteThat $3.35 is going to hurt everyone!
Yeah. I'm pretty freaked about it. But the old ladies didn't like fracking. So... this is what people chose.

LOL. The battery on the commuter car did need to be charged. Mostly I think mice like brand new cars wiring. I've already been that that one a few years ago.
