Gas again

No not that type of gas; I mean gasoline. Here’s a link to an interesting map that gives you the average cost of gasoline across the US. I’m not surprised that California has the most expensive gas. What with all the environmental regulations and the sheer number of people that are in the state. But I am surprised at the cost of gas in the midwest particularily in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin.

If you zoom in on the map you can get the price of gas at individual service stations. Clicking on the price gives you the name of the station, the adress, the type of gas and any other ammenities of the station. Why the internet can be incredibly useful at times.

Some place in San Francisco is charging $6.21 a gallon. What moron would pay that much money for gas. It looks like the average in that area is about $3.55 or so.

Well it doesn’t look like any of that stations I’m near are included on the map. But is a very cool interactive map.

I have to assume this is not the last we will hear about gas prices. It’s a little less than two weeks before Memorial Day. I guess the question is how high can the price go before the end of summer.
