"Gas and Oil Prices Hit New Records After Government Reports Supplies Fell Last Week"

Ya.. that's what Bush is saying to us as we continue to see the gas prices rise.

According to the AP, "The upward trend in energy prices showed no sign of abating Wednesday as gasoline set yet another record at the pump and crude oil topped $112 a barrel for the first time in the futures market."
The article goes on to state that "The national average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gas rose 1.2 cents to a record $3.343 a gallon". Well if the national average is $3.34 that means here in L.A. the gas is $3.99.

There doesn't seem to be much relief in oil prices until fall and I doubt many will be driving their gas guzzlers at all. This should keep many from traveling by car this summer as well but even the airlines are having their own issues.





On a side note:

If you're looking for cheap gas in the O.C./L.A. area there's a plethora of gas stations on Westminster off the 405 that are usually $.25 cheaper than everywhere else. Only problem is you're in the hood and have homeless people trying to clean your window for $.25. - so then you end up paying the same price as everywhere else, but at least you get your window cleaned :)
