Will someone in California post what they pay for fuel. I have heard between $5-$6 per gallon. Its like they don't want your arm and leg, more like arm, leg, left kidney, and your firstborn child. UGH

I paid around $3.70 a gallon in Irvine and San Clemente when I was over a month ago.

That was for the cheapo stuff though (regular ?)

If it was $3.70 a month ago then its probably more now, since gas prices have increased as they have.

You can find the price of gasoline in various locations in North America at gasbuddy.com. It looks like San Jose, CA has just surpassed $3.78/gal, the $1.00/litre mark.

The filling station I go to is just below $4.00. That's Hawthorne, CA.

[edit] reported local average is $3.78. [\edit]

Having visited California and now with family there I really want to move over there for good

Particularly with their 'give away' prices for petrol! - it's like going back 20 years

It doesn't matter where you are, but it seems that gas prices are gonna get worse before they get better, IMHO.

Actually the climate, the patriotism (you can fly your flag and many people do), the general lower cost of living, the nicer attitude of people and a number of other things influenced me heavily ......

Current price is $3.40 in the Oklahoma Pan Handle.

Farmers are turning off their irrigation systems because then can not afford to run the pumps. A local trucker has tied his rate directly to the price of fuel.

The economy is already in a (dare I say the word) depression. If fuels continue to increase in price it will be very very ugly.

Due to the increase in fuel prices we can all look forward to a similar jump in food prices but do not blame the farmer. It will all go to the increased cost of growing, hauling and processing what we buy.

The wonderful selection of presidential candidates we have are now talking about the high price of fuel. But so far what I see are vote getting tactics with no intent of solving the problem.

Re: Half Price Gas!
When the gas gauge/needle drops to the halfway point, go to the gas station and fill it up. This way it will always be half price for a full tank of gas!

If you own a car with an in tank fuel pump you should be doing this anyway. Putting a pump inside the tank is stupid in all ways but one. The liquid in the thank helps cool the pump. When the fuel level drops below 1/4 or so the pump is no longer liquid cooled. It runs hotter and its life is shortened.

For a few dollars more the makers could have used an external pump and save owners $100's or in some cases over $1000 every time the pump needs changing.

Engineering at it best.

I wish I had known about the fuel pump cooling about 3 years ago. I replaced 3 in my truck (98 Silverado) already (2 under warranty) before I heard about the cooling effects. Gas here ( middle Tenn) this morning now at $3.59 a gallon..
