And, just to put things in perspective and to add to #168:
The national average for a gallon of regular unleaded was $2.60 a gallon this weekend—down from nearly $3.45 at this time last year, according to AAA. |

Yeah, it's nuts.
The Chevron is less than a half a mile from my home yet it's consistently one dollar more than Costco Burbank, which is 3.7 miles (and only takes 25 minutes to get there!). I should have taken a picture yesterday of the gas lines. They have either 10 or 12 pumps and the cars were 12 deep in every lane. It took ten minutes just to get in line. |

90068? I'm not surprised. It's going to get worse here, as the four new hotels just down the street from me are completed, as well as all of the new mixed-use buildings, Columbia Square, etc. About $10 billion in new construction the next 3 years.
The Chevron station is on Cahuenga, just before the 101 North & South on ramps, so they can seemingly charge a fortune for gas. |

Already trading at six-year lows on a prolonged slump, U.S. crude fell $2.21 to finish at $38.24 per barrel. Oil hadn't closed below $40 since February 2009, although it briefly traded below that level on Friday. Monday's closing price was the lowest since Feb. 18, 2009.

Anyone else's state take advantage of the lower gas prices to push through a massive gas tax increase?
