Here’s the latest gas price report from the Shell and Chevron at Olympic & Bundy:

Regular: $4.69

Plus: $4.97

Premium: $5.09

Diesel: $5.39

Since my gas price posting on 6/11/08, Regular and Premium gas have jumped 10¢, Plus has jumped 8¢ and Diesel is holding steady. Since my first gas price posting in April, Regular and Diesel have jumped 70¢, Plus has increased by 88¢, and Premium has gone up 90¢.

Perhaps it is time to seriously consider The EFuel100 MicroFueler, “Earth’s First Home Ethanol System” and start fueling up at home.

It’s been almost a week since my last gas price update, and the price has jumped another 10¢. I am not sure if it was a gradual or sudden increase, but it occurred at some point over the past 6 days. Apparently, it’s not going to get better any time soon. Expect $4 to be on the low end of the price range.

Here are today’s gas price at Olympic/Bundy Shell and Chevron stations:

Regular: $4.59

Plus: $4.89

Premium: $4.99

Diesel: $5.39 (a 20¢ jump since 6/5/08)

SIGH. Maybe I should look into an electric scooter for some of my longer trips.

After yesterday’s gas post, I didn’t think I’d be posting about gas prices again for at least a week. Boy, was I wrong!

The gas fairies were hard at work overnight, raising prices a whopping 10¢/gallon in less than 24 hours.

The lowdown from the Shell and Chevron at the Olympic/Bundy intersection:

Regular: $4.39

Plus: $4.69

Premium: $4.79

Diesel: $5.19

I guess it should be somewhat encouraging that the price of diesel dropped 20¢/gallon, but somehow I can’t get too excited about it. I have a feeling it will be back up soon enough.

I nearly fell over when I saw the gas prices at the Chevron and Shell stations at Olympic and Bundy today. Just in time for the holiday weekend and the official start of summer, I guess!

Regular: $4.15

Plus: $4.45

Premium: $4.55

Diesel: $5.39

Great googly-moogly, this is insanity! I need a biofuel vehicle ASAP!  Or one of these:

It’s official–gas has gotten REALLY expensive in Southern California. The gas station across from my office is now selling regular unleaded for $3.99/gallon. It’s premium brands are $4.09 and $4.19/gallon. Sheesh! Partner-in-Climb and I were serendipitously invited to Joshua Tree this weekend by friends who scored a campsite, and now we are furiously doing some post-tax season budgeting to pay for the gas. I think it will take about 2 full tanks to get us there and back, so that’s at least $150.

I am trying to focus on the fact that I have REALLY REALLY wanted to go to J Tree on this particular weekend for months. It’s the full moon weekend, and it gets so bright in the desert that you can scramble around on some of the boulders at night. It is SO much fun. If it’s not windy, it’s also a great time of year to sleep outside without a tent. Plus, it’s probably the last weekend before it gets to be what I consider “way too hot” in the desert. So there are a lot of good reasons to go. It will just suck to pay that much for gas.
