Exxon, Friday

I snapped this sitting at the light Friday on the way out of town. And incidentally, when I came back on Sunday it had changed to 2.95 for regular.

I find it very odd that the gas station changes the price for gas it already has in the tanks. I can understand how when they buy new gas the price might go up- but it seems that once they buy it, it should stay the same until they get new. But that's silly of me. :P It's been rising like crazy here, too. Luckily, I barely drive!

Is that a lot? It hasn't been under $3 (or really $3.50) here in as long as I can remember! I only buy gas every three months but it costs me almost $40 to fill my tiny little gas tank.

It's $3.51 for regular at our neighborhood station. They're not the cheapest around, but they're not unusually expensive, either. There's another place near work that I think's around $3.68, but they're always ripoffs; there's no other station within a mile and they're near a freeway ramp. I'm still waiting to see $4.xx, and it can't be far off (for premium, at least) at the ripoff place.

That, alas, is part of the price of living in San Diego.

Another Californian chiming in: at the 76 station where I get gas, the average price has been around the $3.50 mark for the past couple of weeks. I usually fill up when I get to half a tank and that costs me between $30-$35. For half a tank of regular. (I drive a SUV, unfortunately, and have no options for public transport.)

That is at the moderately priced station -- on my drive home from work, I have seen regular as high as $3.91 or low as $3.40 at the cheap station that charges you .45 to use your ATM card.
