California’s Mini-Price Spike for Gasoline Continues
California, which traditionally has some of the highest gasoline prices in the nation, is continuing to see a mini-price spike that began a few weeks ago. On Friday, the average price per gallon of gas in San Diego County rose to $1.865. This marks the 16th day out of the last 18 that the price of gas has increased in that region. In comparison, the national average price is at $1.626 per gallon.
Although California prices are still way below record highs seen during the summer (San Diego peaked at $4.63), the recent volatility is a reminder of the continuing vulnerability we have as a society to this finite and polluting resource. Maybe this little price spike will act as a reminder that we cannot enter another phase of complacency.
