POLL! How Much Do You Think Gas is Going to Cost In Six Months?

It’s like they were just giving it away back then! A photo from a while ago. (Obviously.) By Ryan Burns.



WOAH! Anyone take a look at the price of gas recently? Better question — has anyone managed to avoid looking at every gas station’s tower whenever they go by? We’ve noticed every 10-cent fluctuation since February. 

You can expect a dip soon-ish; today, Gov. Gavin Newsom suspended California’s seasonal summer gasoline requirement, which adds around 15 cents to every gallon. (It’s more expensive to make, but evaporates less in hot temperatures.) But that’ll hardly take a chunk out of Humboldt’s sky-high prices, which are some of the most expensive in the nation. It beggars the question: what do you think a gallon of gas will cost here in six months?
