How much did you just pay for gasoline?

Taken yesterday in Cerritos, CA (Los Angeles).

A few days ago it was $3.84, but today it's $3.85.

My most recent fill up was 3-12-26 (I don’t drive very much) at Costco (membership store) regular grade for $3.999 per gallon

We keep hearing “oil prices are coming down.” Scarcely 4 hours after I filled up, pump prices rose 10 cents a gallon. This is crazy! 🫨🫨

Wah ! I filled up today even though I had about 1/3rd of a tank, just to avoid the “sticker shock” of paying for a full tank- $5.58/gallon !  Fortunately, I don’t drive a lot, so trips to the gas station are infrequent. For people who drive for a living or have long commutes, this is brutal.

Averaging $3.63 to $3.69 in Iowa at the moment. And fortunately, I only put about 1,000 miles a year on my car, thank goodness.
