Pain at the Pump This Thanksgiving

Gas Prices are a Pain at the Pump

For those of you driving over the river and through the woods to grandma's house for Thanksgiving -- this picture is going to hurt. This particular Chevron is on the corner of Cesar Chavez and Alameda in Downtown LA. And we're sure it's not the only one around town with prices like these.

From today's LA Times:

California motorists paid an average of $3.395 for a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline, up 2.9 cents from the week before, according to the Energy Department's weekly survey of service stations. The state average was 83 cents higher than at this time last year. Prices also edged higher in the Rocky Mountain states and parts of the East Coast.

Sheesh. With gas prices like these, maybe it's not too late to fly to grandma's house.

Might be cheaper anyway.

thats the best headline of the week

Remember, consumers control the market. There's no shortage of gas-guzzling luxury cars driving around Los Angeles, so the more we buy efficient vehicles, the more of them the companies will produce. It's all up to us, the people.
