The 76 just across from Barstow Station has been holding at $4.99 per gallon for premium since last week. Gas prices went up over the weekend as oil prices went up, but they’ve managed to hold the line on premium. As a result, their mid-range gas is only four cents cheaper per gallon and I think their regular unleaded is about a dime less.

Keep an eye on them to see when we break that next threshold. I’ve asked reporter Abby Sewell to try to put together a story this week about the possibility of breaking $5 a gallon here in Barstow.
