The much higher tanker rates along with the higher Crude Prices is no doubt having a big negative impact on the European Economies.

Here in SoCal, gas prices are averaging $3.80 a gallon for regular.  Interestingly enough, this morning I took my granddaughter to school and noticed the price of gas at a Shell station was $3.79.  This was about 8:15 or so.  I then took the cocker spaniel to the vet to have him neutered.  I returned home the same route that I had taken earlier at around 9:00 and noticed the Shell station price for regular was now $3.89 a gallon.  I'm feeling a little gouged here.

I was able to fill up at $3.28 on Tues. It is even more today, in the $3.50s range. For some reason Shell is always our most expensive gas here. If there is a cluster of gas stations they are always four to ten cents more. I don't know if it is true or not but I keep hearing that soon we will have 15% ethanol.
