I'm not sure if you guys have noticed but recently the gas prices have really gone up, especially in Turlock. In the beginning of the school year, the gas prices were around 2.20 a gallon, which is relatively cheap. But now the gas prices is around 3.00 a gallon and that's just counting the 87 grade. This really affects the people who have to commute to school. Since commuting costs gas and gas costs money. This really hurts me because I have a long commute from home to school. It's 100 miles there and back each day, which results in more money being spent if gas prices go up. Just recently in Turlock, I had to stop to put gas in Chevron. I wasn't paying attention to the gas prices, but when I started to fill my car and looked down and saw the price per gallon, I was really shocked to see how expensive it was. It was 3.30 a gallon! It usually takes me about 30 bucks to fill my little honda civic to the max, but this time around it ended up costing me 40 bucks. Since I'm from chowchilla, the gas prices there is a little cheaper than it is in Turlock. In Chowchilla a gallon costs around 2.70 which pretty expensive, but cheap compared to Turlock. From now on gas will be brought from chowchilla rather than here. It will save me money in the long run. Have the gas prices affected any of you guys?
