Close to $4 a gallon?
One staffer said he spotted gas for about $4.07 a gallon at the corner of California Avenue and Oak Street this morning. He also said gas has hovered around $4.07 a gallon in Frazier Park for the past few days, too. Have you spotted some gas deals? Where are they? One of our reporters is planning to work on a story today about the current state of gas prices. Do you think things are getting better? Will the prices soar again? Is $4 a gallon still way too high? 6 comments from 5 users

My barometer for gas is the Flying J truckstop north of town on Merced Avenue. Since they own their own refinery, they are usually cheaper than in town. But, it was at $4.079 thismorning when I went by. Deisel was at $4.699. posted by

17 News had a story last night about a couple of stations down to $3.99. Unfortunately, I can't remember the locations. One I think is the same station Amox pointed out on the gas map. I know when I filled at the Chevron at California and Oak last night, it was $4.11. posted by

Gas (when I remembered to look) was about 10 cents more expensive down south during my trip Friday. posted by

Wow. Just Wow. It seems that speculators made up a larger part of the oil-futures market than previously thought. But the real surprise in a recent report appears to be (if I'm reading it right) that one single player in the market held up to ten percent of the available oil options. One out of ten barrels of oil belonging to a single (corporate) individual for speculation. http://www.cattlenetwork.co... Who? Well, there's some speculation on *THAT*... http://www.dailykos.com/sto... as the recent drop in crude prices was followed by a sizeable bankruptcy.
