Yesterday I drove by an Arco station that usually has good prices, and their price was $3.85.  I kept driving.   

A few miles away I got gas at another fave gas station, and paid $3.75.

As ridiculous as it sounds .... I felt like I got a deal.  Sort of.

Currently we are paying $3.80-$3.85 a gallon for non-ethanol.  We only use non-ethanol gas in our vehicles.

I live in Southern CA, and our state's gas prices are higher than most .... different formulas in different seasons to keep emissions low, etc.  We've got a large population, lots of cars, and smog hanging in the air isn't healthy.  I get it.

A few months ago, I was grumbling that $3.05 was too high .... and a few weeks ago I paid $3.73 a gallon!

I just read that gas prices will be going up nationally and am wondering ....  What city or area are you in and what are you currently paying for gas?

In the San Antonio, TX area it's $2.27 on average....⛽

I think our gas prices are the highest in the country!! Boo Hiss!!! Our saving grace is we have a 1976 Dodge Diesel truck that has a cummins engine and is in great condition. Doesn't have to be smogged and gets 28 mi/gal. We had it refurbished 4 years ago and it looks like new.  Best money we ever spent on a vehicle. The only time we use the Lincoln is when we are going out for dinner or someplace nice.

Where are you located? 

[Bridgegal]

I think the last time we filled up , it was $3.49 + or -.   But we have a mid size SUV and it is diesel, so that is always higher.

I don't know about anyone/anywhere else, but folks around here seem to spend a lot of time in their cars, in their driveways, engine running and texting for about 10 to 20 minutes before they leave.  Sometimes even longer.

I seriously doubt that they care about the price of gasoline.  My guess is that they would continue, even if the price were $5, $10 or more a gallon.

Well, that's the way I've been thinking for the past several years.  Ever since the last price hike a few years ago.  

I kept thinking and wondering 'Don't they even care about the price of gas'?

Oh well, things could be (and have been) worse in many other areas, so I shouldn't complain about materialistic things and prices.
