We tend to try not to use too many state wire stories about gas prices in California because quite frequently their declaration of the most expensive gas prices tend to be off in a way that’s very visible here. Their “most expensive” gas price tends to actually be cheaper than prices in Barstow.

So while everybody is ranting now about $4-per-gallon gas prices, I’m noticing that premium gas in Barstow is now well into $4.80 per gallon. Will we hit $5 soon?
