Highest price I saw was $3.79 on my recent trip to NE Washington and back. Glad I traveled north rather than south.
$4.90 a gallon? Ouch!

Made a unexpected trip to southern California last week. The trip down Cajon pass on Sunday pm into the sprawl that is SoCal was a treat.
On the way out I gassed in Barstow. 
$4.99/gal. only bought part of a tank. Filled up in Kingman at $3.54/gal. Good Gawd! somethings gotta give. It's ridiculous.
Very happy to return to the intermountain west....

Oil is decreasing in price Friday it went down to $78 a barrel.
Something sure needs to be done.Demand is high supply is low.
OPEC has cut production and that always bumps up the cost.
As the world starts to come out of the pandemic I think we will
see lower prices at the pump.
All we can do is drive as needed and look for the lowest price we can find.

The lowest prices I've found, so far, are in the Carolinas. But unless you happen to be in the area, probably not worth a cross-country drive to save a few dollars.

Today I paid $3.189/gal for regular in Swainsboro, Georgia.

Or accept it as part of the cost of travel. I rarely think about fuel costs, and almost always pay over $7 gal equivalent.
Frank, from what I see in the O&G industry, we are heading to over $100 bbl oil again soon. Recovery from COVID will spark a real surge in demand, and investment in new production is low .

SoCal refineries experiencing unexpected maintenance, supply has dropped while demand is up. Sure…never heard that one before. What a racket.

Rampant inflation and decrease in American production are negatively impacting price in addition to increased demand.
Hope it's temporary.

I think you are correct Vic.
And good point of view on gas/traveling.

I tend to agree with Vic. While price does hurt for those that are on the edge, when I see the size of trucks and campers blowing by on the highway, I can only conclude that mileage and price don't really matter. On our current trip been keeping it to pretty much 60 and below which increased our mileage by about 2 mpg.
