Metro Vancouver gas prices up of 130 cents per liter

Gas prices are high! But how high gas prices? If you were in San Francisco the night, you could see a gas station 76, where a gallon of regular gasoline was selling for $ 4.39 a gallon, according to recent announcements about the service control GasBuddy.com.

Obama would have thought to use the strategic oil reserves as gas prices head toward the stratosphere. The average price of $ 3.50 across the country yesterday, up 15 cents in just one week, AAA said. There are still a long way, but from a record $ 4.11 a gallon in July 2008.

Gas Buddy is a gas of San Francisco is the most expensive city in the country, averaging $ 3.93 a gallon, followed by 15 other cities in California. Los Angeles, it is difficult to find a station that is charging less than about $ 3.95 a gallon. The official Energy Information Administration weekly price survey will be published later today. Some analysis of the media than the national average sits at about $ 3.44 per gallon is quite the jump from the average of $ 3.12 per gallon Montana enjoys today.

But the higher prices we see in the next week will be nothing compared to where DeHaan said Magic City can be directed to the Memorial Day Weekend.

"The transaction prices can be anywhere from $ 3.65 to 4.05 dollars a gallon," said DeHaan.

Again, these prices are still lower than the expected national average - $ 4.25. But if we get to the top of the spectrum here in Billings, take this difference of $ 0.20, you may need it for gas money.
