Pain at the Pump
According to a survey released Sunday the national average price for gasoline rose about 5 cents over the last two weeks, and Amador County citizens are feeling the pain at the pump as well. Nationally, the average price of regular gasoline on Friday was $2.80 a gallon. On Friday in Amador County that same gallon could be bought for $3.05 or more. The week before in Martell gas was about $2.95 a gallon. And the pain at the pump only gets worse as you head farther up country with gas last week at $3.20 and just yesterday at $3.25. The survey found that the highest was in San Francisco at $3.17, according to the Lundberg Survey of 7,000 stations nationwide, but analyst obviously didn’t visit Amador County.
