Its not TOO bad in San Jose either. I went to the Shell on Almaden and Blossom Hill the other day and the 91 was pretty "cheap". I can't remember the exact cost but I know it was less then $2.80/gallon.

Still though, I remember when I first started driving (1994-ish) and the prices were like a $1/gallon. Oh the good old days...

hey Andy!

I have, sort of... I've thought of taking the bus or some form of public transportation say, 2 days a week. I rented a car to go down to L.A. this past weekend (a Taurus and it sucks!) and when I came back home tonight, I put my suitcase away and hopped on my Baby G... I missed him so much!

But the gas prices from here and driving through 101 and reaching Calabasas, where my family lives... it's like night and day! Down there, I filled up this morning and 87 was only $2.89... when I got home tonight before I returned my rental car... I filled up in Fremont @ $3.13!

Prices are dropping a bit here in the Bay Area. I paid $3.29 this morning at Chevron. However, the summer is winding down. I have to believe that through a series of 'Unfortunate Circumstances,' the price of oil will skyrocket, once again . . . Wink . . . Wink.

We haven't changed our driving habits, yet. Although it is a mental challenge to top off the wife's SUV. Gotta love the Honda Accord beater. I probably should consider taking public transit into downtown S.F. everyday. Especially, when I add up my monthly garage fees. However, I love the convenience of driving.

My son is visiting from Las Vegas and he laughs at the gas prices over here.

Most of us are quite fortunate . . . Considering that the price of gas is a nuisance for us versus some families' budget breaking headaches.

Yeah, but the return on property is almost second to none. Especially, if you hold out for the long term.

AAaawww, I heard Vegas's gas price is great!

You're right... property value does hold better here in the immediate Bay Area... Oh, SUVs, my brother just got himself a Land Rover LR3 and although he loves the car, he hates the cost of running it.
