It was up to $1.79 on the way in to work Mon morning, and was down to $1.59 on the way home. Glad I waited til after work!

But seriously, I'll never understand how it can flucuate $.20 or more in a day.

Not only is it cheaper, but - gives you more miles to the gallon too

$1.69 here. We pay more than the Central valley 'cause they have to truck it up the hill, then how come I can follow the truck over to Nevada and pay less
It's all a rip.

California has refomulated gas that cost about 10-15 cent per gallon more as well as higher gas taxes than most other states. The two together adds about 30 cents per gallon over most other states.

California is the only state that cannot import gas from another state due to the fact that California must use the reformulated CaRFG3 gasoline. Normally when a refinery fire occurs in a state, most other states import gas from another state which only adds about 1-2 cents per gallon to the gas but in the case of California the price sky rockets until the refinery can get back on line.
