Gotta love those that talk about state lines, not likely when it is hundreds of miles away from most in CA. GB does a great job of making us aware of price shifts in the areas we drive, thanks to all the posters.

LilRedWagonIN Champion Author Indiana Posts:7,776 Points:1,555,135 Joined:Oct 2008	Message Posted: Dec 12, 2012 7:39:53 AM Ignore LilRedWagonIN Report Abuse When the national news media covers gasoline prices like this, it should put pressure on high priced gasoline states to lower their prices. Hard to justify forcing customers to pay twenty cents more a gallon than at those stations across the state line.

eomc17 Champion Author Tucson Posts:1,822 Points:134,145 Joined:Mar 2007	Message Posted: Dec 11, 2012 11:57:47 PM Ignore eomc17 Report Abuse Our monthly average gas price is still higher than last year, which set an all-time high last year, and we will reach another infamous milestone for 2012, the highest annual average gas price ever, breaking last year's record, despite the fact that our demand for gasoline is at an 11 year low. This is so outrageous and our liar in chief and our 110 workday per year Congress and Senate refuse to regulate our very greedy speculators Next year you can all count on new all-time high gas prices, and we can conserve all we want, the gas prices will keep going up, up, and UP.
