Are gas prices rising where you live?
Edited on Sat Nov-11-06 12:44 PM by Blue_Roses
I noticed at our local station that prices have gone up eight cents since the election. ARGGGGGGGGGGG...I hope they start investigations into gas gouging soon!

19. Where do you live in Southern California?
I live in the Los Angeles area, but I travel quite a bit. I haven't seen gas prices that low since high school.

4. Not that I've noticed.
But I live in a major US city. There are literally twelve gas stations within six blocks on all sides of me. If one goes up, I'll go to the cheapest.

6. Holding steady here in central NM
$2.06 at Circle K down the street, $2.09 at the brand name stations. That's what they've been for a couple of weeks.

I imagine they'll start to go up next week.

8. No, but...
we have a runoff congressional election. Therefore, prices are still "low".

11. Yes, about 10 cents a gallon here in Westchester Co. NY. Not surprised
in the least, and in fact expected it to happen after the elections.

13. Gas went up 10 cents here the day after the election
But dropped five cents the day after that, so it's a net five cent rise.
