Boring gas question.....again
Just how bad is it getting in California? We have hit the $3 mark in the Seattle area. And since it is usual for gas to be about $1 more in the Big
Valley and San Diego I'm stressing BIG TIME! At $3 with my normal 4000 mile trip it will cost me $1200 just in gas for my normal Baja fix this summer

Good thing you are close to the border, so you commute to buy diesel in Baja?

We NEVER miss an oppurtunity to head down for breakfast in TJ or lunch at Dave's or dinner at one of our many favorite restaurants or a quick surf or
to stock up on tequila or get beach rocks for our yard at home. We always make sure that our tank is as empty as possible and we ALWAYS end up
spending the $40-50-60 dollars we save while we are down there.
Here is a link to cheap gas prices in the area:

The $40, 50, or 60 is much better spent on food, rocks and Tequilla and fun. Thanks for the links!

In Redding gas is $3.15 to $3.25 today. You could find under $3.10 if you looked but it isn't worth it to drive any further to save what amounts to 2%
or 3% when you can waste that much in fuel driving an extra 5 or 10 miles around town.

Thanks everyone.....
From the emails I have gotten, (and the links provided by "elgatoloco") the good news seems to be that it's not much worse than Seattle, the bad news
is that Seattle has caught up with the GAS PRICES FROM HELL! (that would be California)

May 1 in Oceanside, the cheapest I saw was $3.199 at Arco and a 76 station on Mission Ave. about 3 lights east of I-5.
In San Marcos/Escondido today the Arco at Nordahl and Hwy. 78 was $3.159
The other stations ranged from $3.25 to $3.46 for regular.

Debra: Here in the Great State of Texas-The Panhandle of Texas where some areas ae covered with producing Oil Wells, the price of diesel was $2.78 -
Price of Gas $2.68.
After 2007 it will not make much difference as I have heard that all diesels in the U>S will have to meet California Standards_ Means they will be
loaded with all the Controls for emmisons- Poor Performance-costly- Less Horse Power.
Makes a Toyoto sound like a good Buy!!
Good Luck

San Felipe, Baja, Mexico, I believe it is somewhere around $2.39 a gallon, depending on today's exchange rate. Headed to town today, will re-check.

Debra, just a bit north of you we have 1.14 CAD per litre, works out to about 3.88 USD per US gallon. This is actually getting better due to the rise
in the CAD, currently trading at over 90 cents to your dollar - an increase from the 62 cent level of January, 2002.
