Friday Fuel-up: Settling in From $4.05 to $4.10

Prices decline in the past week; experts still unsure of the future

The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in the Inland
Empire fell two-tenths of a cent today to $4.122, one day after a 10-day
streak of decreases ended with an increase of six-tenths of a cent.

Prices in Palm Desert have been seen just under $4.10 per gallon.

The average price in Riverside and San Bernardino counties is 1.4 cents

less than a week ago but 2.1 cents more than one month ago and 20.9 cents higher than one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.

 "The price of oil has been so volatile in recent weeks that it's hard
to say where gas prices are headed in the coming days,'' said Jeffrey Spring of the Automobile Club of Southern California.

You';re welcome, Renee but I don't really expect thanks for my contributions to the classroom. IRead More wasn't going to stand by and see kids not have the basic things they needed to get through the class and most teachers are of the same mind :) Sadly, school budgets have never covered all the needs in classrooms.

Dorothy you actually believe criminals can't get guns without a background check. Wow are youRead More naive. Just because YOU don't understand why some people want a particular weapon...does not mean you can impose your ownership standards on someone else. Suppose I suggest you don't need the particular car you drive or the particlar beverage you drink? I see you are opposed to hunting. How do you feel about abortion? Typical liberal double standard at play here??

Totally agree. This is just the beginning of a gun grab. All it will accomplish is furtherRead More restrictions on law abiding citizens. Chicago is a perfect example. Strictest gun control in the nation and highest gun crime and murder rate. Criminals do not comply with the law. Only legal citizens will lose their rights to own the weapon of their choice. Liberals are all about choice when it comes to killing an unborn, but when it comes to a lawful gunowner's choice it's a different story altogether.
