The average price in Riverside and San Bernardino counties has risen 56.5 cents during the streak of increases, the longest since a 27-day streak from Feb. 8 to March 5, 2012, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price

Folks, It hurts me to tell you this but get ready to pay $5.00 a gallon this summer for a short time. Prices should should cool at $4.57 in the next 60 days but rise again testing the five dollar range for 60 days this summer. Big oil is calling it the California stress test. Lets check back in July-August.

Yup... done with Cali... Moving up North and ready to get the ... out of this state. It's actually a new trend. Taxes, Inmates let out of jail, horrible unemployment, now gas prices. Might as well have the big quake and let Cali fall into the ocean. $5/gallon is ridiculous!

This state is really starting to make me sad and I have lived here 43 years. First our paychecks are being taxed to death, hours are being lowered, finding a job for most is proving to me impossible, food prices are rising again THANKS TO THE COST OF THE GAS IT TAKES TO GET THE FOOD WHERE IT'S GOING and now we are being forced to sit at home because it costs too much to drive anywhere except to work and back. This is forcing the economy bankrupt. I never bring politics into my conversations anymore, but those who voted for this ... hope and change should be ashamed. Our whole country is going to pot and nobody seems to care anymore.

Temecula gas is still lower than Fallbrook prices by 16 cents (Shell specifically) on a regular basis every time I fill up, when I'm up here.

Did anyone reading this article actually believe that Obama was going to do anything to control energy costs? The progressive democrats goal was/is to drive the costs up, to make "green energy" look affordable. Sheeple everywhere are to blame.
