We all now gas prices are going up. It is something, that we can't escape. Here in Topeka the prices range from $3.12 ($3.10 with shopper card) to $3.35 at the station that is consistently the highest place to get gas in town. The average is about $3.24. Even that crazy price though is below the national average.
In an article in the LA Times,
Retail gasoline prices surged to new highs in California and nationally over the last week, the Energy Department said Monday.
Prices are increasing even though supplies are plentiful.
In California, the Energy Department's weekly survey of service stations showed, the average price of a gallon of self-serve regular climbed 7.7 cents to $3.685 -- the biggest increase and the highest average in the country -- after hovering around the $3.60 mark for the previous three weeks. The state's latest average was 43.3 cents higher than the same week in 2007.
Those prices reported in California is higher then the national average. So Kansas is below and California is higher, but what is the national average? Glad you asked. It is $3.33, according to both the LA Times article and GasBuddies.com.

I wish I could walk or take public transportaion, but this is not available where I live. Fortionatly I work from home, so I don't spend gas going to work. I just drive to church three times a week, store, and Sat. part time job, and my my sons Thur. doctors appointment.
This is something that weighs on me when I think about working outside the home, gas prices and more car wear & tear. It costs so much money to live! AHHHHH! -Becky
