Gas Prices


Gas prices effect shipping prices because UPS and FedEx have to use gas to fly airplanes and drive trucks and they pass that cost onto their customers. I noticed gas prices climbing above $3.00/gallon again. This is a graph of the last 365 days of gas prices in San Francisco.

And yes that major dip was in the beginning of November. Then prices began climbing back up. Wonder what made them drop in November and then climb back up. Could it have been this? And some wonder why are so skeptical of the Administration here on the left coast. We are on pace to have higher gas prices this summer than we did last summer. Hope no one is planning a road-trip vacation.
