My nephew paid 6.69 a gallon in California last week....

CA has probably the highest prices in the country. I just wish we had some "advance warning" with increases.

For the past month, my favorite "cheapest" station had gas at $5.49 and holding. Last week I was tired and passed on stopping. The other day I made a point to get gas, and the price was $5.65 ... for regular! Grrr ...

Record-breaking diesel gas prices are a very worrisome part of the overall ominous picture.

Farmers and ranchers use a lot of diesel fuel. Add that to the increase in prices for fertilizer, weed control, equipment and repairs.

And then there is the drought in the west and too much rain in the east.

I wouldn't expect food prices to come down any time soon.

I think this will be a big problem for those who commute to work or drive their kids to school etc. But for those who go to stores etc, it just takes less driving around to stores.

Gas prices also affect travel. I'm more likely to stay closer to home or shorten my trip.

In Connecticut, the gas prices are about $4.30 for regular unleaded. Much, much higher for premium and diesel. It's so out of control now.

@ThinkingOutLoud I'm not thinking we'll see much change until the world situation changes. My brain is on a WWII time schedule. Really ugly thought, I know.
