How come for once Californians aren't paying the most. Bay Area isn't as expensive now relative to the rest of the nation. I noticed that we used to be like 50 cents above national avg, but now we're like 6 cents above only.

Have you seen the ridiculous amount of gas threads on this forum? If a sticky was ever needed for anything, this is it.

Now that it's over $3 I doubt it will ever get cheaper. It is $3.20 right now. WOW! But as I've said before, it still doesn't affect me that much. Now the biggest consequence is that I will probably be traveling home less on weekends since it'll cost over $30 to get there and back. Otherwise, this town is so small that EVERYONE walks or bikes to campus and downtown and whatnot, even with the harshest winters I'll still walk.

I really don't think it'll hover around these prices once things are back in normal operation (hopefully). It was actually holding relatively steady for a bit before this happened.

$2.59 on Tuesday, to $2.99 on Wednesday, to $3.09 today here in central KY. Ironically, I work next to a bicycle shop, which is right next to a gas station, and on the other side of our shop is a huge ass car lot. I can't quote word for word what the bicycle shop put up on their marquee today, but it was pretty funny. Something about $4 gas, OUCH!. I so wish that I lived near enough to work to ride a bike .

A guy from the car lot next door came in today to order some stuff, and was telling me that the gas station next door was running out of gas. Not sure if I believe him or not, but they take all of their cars over to that gas station for gas, so they have a pretty good relationship with them.
