Regular Jaw Drop: $5.21 per Gallon for Gas in San Mateo
Driving home from Draeger's Supermarket in San Mateo, CA yesterday, I saw this Shell station and my jaw dropped, $5.21/gallon for Regular and $5.33 for Plus (89) which I normally get. The average price for Regular (87) gas in my hood is about $4.68, so when I saw this I truly was surprised because that's a huge jump.
This gas station is one of the first off the nearby freeway (On El Camino off 92) so I'm assuming they are taking advantage of those freeway drivers who are running on fumes and are desperate for gas, or the gas station owner is just crazy. Mind you, no one was pumping gas when I was there.
Seriously, we're going on a gas diet.
