Well, so much for the price I posted yesterday. It just went up to $1.84. Boy I sure hope it doesn't get to $2.00 but but a nickel raise in one day
so far the high is 2.75 (if you don't count the Belgium price). the low is $1.59.

Gas was 1.55 here today in Cinci. I think I may fill up the S and scivic before the prices shoot back up for the weekend!
This was taken from a link from the previous gas thread:
"It is true that the gasoline market in California is particularly volatile, generally resulting in higher prices there than throghout the rest of the USA, because:
California is the second-biggest gasoline market in the world, outranked only by the United States as a whole. (California alone consumes as much gasoline as all of Japan.)
All of the state's refineries, running at full capacity, cannot meet California's one million barrels per day consumption, requiring the importation of more expensive product to meet consumer demand. "
Since 1996, California has required a cleaner-burning formulation of gasoline which is produced at few refineries outside of California.
The four largest oil refiners in California produce almost 80% of the gasoline supply, and the six largest refiners operate about 85% of the retail gasoline outlets.
