$4-what per gallon?
And our clients wonder why I want to charge for mileage. At $4.29gal (and I do use premium), it’s almost not worth it for me to shoot one site a day. I’d much rather wait and pile up sites, shooting an area in batches. I never thought I’d pine for $1.49/gal gas. Of course, I’m slap-happy we didn’t go with a diesel engine car. We’d have to sell our firstborn in order to fill up the tank. The price of diesel is killing everyone. I can barely afford to eat now, since everything is that much more expensive.
This gas station is on Alameda, next to Olvera Street. One of the most amusing things about this gas station is watching the prices rise on a Friday afternoon. I’ve seen the price of gas go up 20 cents in a space of 45 minutes. The workers there deny it. The oddest day was right before we moved here, I had driven past there, on the way back to the apt. and sat on Alameda for about 20. The price of gas when from $2.19 up to $2.49 (keep in mind I only look at the premium price) then down to $2.09. It dropped to $1.99 for a heartbeat, and 4 cars swooped out of traffic to get gas. Then it was back up to $2.29

Thank god I don’t have a car. I just don’t see how people with cars can keep paying. I know it’s cheaper than in the UK, but we’re not in the UK and that’s bloody expensive for Los Angeles.

And you know…I keep hoping that the higher prices would force people off the road. If anything, it seems like more people are driving…solo. They can’t all be in the same industry as me.

You should have gone with a diesel, because then you could have also turned it into a grease car and driven around on reclaimed vege oil. I wonder if the science on it is in…is it more or less toxic than fumes from regular gas?
