Hey Buster,

I didn't say pay up...I said get ready.

What do you mean Los Angeles doesn't count? It counts in the average lol..which is at $3.97 now. I feel sorry for those folks out in southern CA, really bad off. Inflation is rampant. Not enough money to buy gasoline and bullets. IMO...buy bullets...with bullets you can get gas.

Oh, and you can google those prices in those areas. Lots of stations with $5 gas...bleh.

Speaking from SoCal here, I'm in Riverside and it's $4.30 for the cheap stuff today, not going to LA anytime soon. But it is getting painful, I ride 50 miles one way on the Harley, 1.1 Gallons for the trip. I hate the miles on the girl, but it beats the 3.6 Gallons in my SUV.

Just got off the phone with a HUMMER parts place in Lake Forest, CA..and she said the price this morning was $4.29....

It's really cheap in Los Angeles CA, only 4.11, but you have to purchase a cash wash... LOL

Oil drops sharply below $124

Fed chairman Ben Bernanke suggests more rate cuts are unlikely due to inflation worries.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Oil prices fell sharply Tuesday, dropping below $124 a barrel as demand concerns grew and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke indicated that more interest rate cuts are unlikely. Bernanke's comments sent the dollar higher and raised questions about oil's ability to reach new highs in the short term.



Oil prices: Light, sweet crude for July delivery fell $3.45 to settle at $124.31 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices continued falling in after-hours electronic trading, dipping as low as $123.87. It was oil's lowest trading and settlement levels since May 15. Prices peaked at $135.09 on May 22.
Retail gas prices, meanwhile, rose slightly to a new record near $3.98 a gallon, but could fall if oil prices continue to decline.
The latest MasterCard SpendingPulse survey found that demand for gasoline fell by 4.7% last week - which included the long Memorial Day holiday weekend - compared to the same week last year. Averaged over the last four weeks, demand was down 6% last week compared to last year.
That dovetails with recent data from the Energy Department and Federal Highway Administration, as well as several other surveys suggesting high prices are cutting American's appetite for fuel. A new survey by RBC Capital Markets finds about 90% of Americans have made changes in their daily lives to counter high energy prices, including driving less and taking public transportation more often.
On Tuesday, General Motors Corp. (GM, Fortune 500) said it would close four truck and SUV plants in the United States, Canada and Mexico as surging fuel prices hasten a dramatic shift to smaller vehicles.
"Investors are ... wondering if we've got to the point, with prices around $130 a barrel, if that's too much for consumers to bear," said Rachel Ziemba, an analyst at RGEMonitor.com in New York.
The Bernanke effect: Also weighing on prices was the strengthening dollar. [more]
