Up around $3.25 / gallon here in the LA area.

There was a previous post on here somewhere about gas prices. You should find it so we can just continue that thread, and there will be some history to it.

About $2.59 here and in Pennsylvania where we were last week. That is about $.55 a liter. It shot up inthe spring creating a lot o talk about mileage. The Cavalier I have now has about the same performance as the Valiant I had when my truck was new. It gets at least twice the mileage the valiant did. I am not sure I could find a new truck that would come anywhere near the 25 on trips my truck will do.

Just a few cents under $3.00 for regular is what I'm seeing around the So CA area.
I paid $2.65 for diesel on Tuesday.
