I always go to Arco because they have the lowest prices. But it varies everywhere.

Hopefully this gas situation is coming to an end and it will get back down to normal soon.

No time soon...as it is by design not accident

It will get worse before it gets better

It will take a couple of years after the change.

sorry it's getting better already. you can look at a glass half full or half empty which means time to order another drink

I think the decrease in the record gas prices is temporarily and they will go up again before they go down to anything close to their cost pre 2021

As this was predictable it was expected and wasn't corrected for purposely

I used to tell my wife that, give me 20 minutes and a Gatorade  and it will be up.

gasoline is a liquid but it won't burn. it needs to turn into gas it what you call fumes, fumes mixed with oxygen and an ignition source will burn

semp

Petrol if you put a match to it will ignite.

It’s not a gas

That's less than half of what we pay here. Yet your median income or GNP isn't half or ours.

And it's still double what we were paying for it pre 2021

Like I said, it is not by accident..

The price of fuel obviously has dropped which is good.
One thing I've noticed in driving around Los Angeles is that the traffic is very light on most days. I don't think we've ever gotten back to the point where we were before covid-19. You can definitely tell. Driving to work with no traffic on most days?
And I don't only just drive to work, I drive during the day doing my service work as a field engineer. So I'm driving around Southern California but mostly Los Angeles.
