Yikes! When I walked by my local Valero two days ago, price per gallon held steady at godawful $5.50—as when I filled up on Sept. 10, 2023. The Featured Image tells the story: 50-cent increase to, gasp, six bucks a gallon! This is typically a bargain station, too.

By the way, AAA’s gas map puts the national average as $3.87 per gallon today. Yeah, local price is $2.13 more!
