Yesterday I paid $3.259, which is ~ what it's been for several weeks at the cheaper places in Bend.

Drove from Bend, OR, to Redding, CA this afternoon. I paid $3.039/gal in Bend and $3.099 in Klamath Falls.
In my Mom's little town outside Redding the gas prices are too disturbing to mention. 
I hope I can make it back to KFalls on the current tank...

And why the high gas prices...Not what you think, it’s called a lack of competition. When I started driving, gas was 36 cents a gallon and there were gas stations on almost every corner. There was a gas war and the competition kept prices down, then the big oil companies started buying up all the mom and pop gas companies and now there are only a hand full of gas stations in town as opposed to many. There are few things the government is actually supposed to do and one is prevent monopolies, but money talks and you know the rest. I spent a brief time working in the oil industry; it is scary how much they control the market.

Inflation has averaged almost 4% a year over the last 50 years. A $0.36 gallon of gas in 1969 should cost $2.55 in inflation adjusted dollars in 2019. I paid $2.479 on Wednesday for 87 octane.

Gas is incredibly cheap. One exception is California and that is because they have the courage (?) to tax it more than most states. It is about $2.40-$2.60 here in Tucson. If we had to pay the real cost of it, most of us would be sitting home not out doing the exploring we love. It is truly a double edged sword.
