The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded is now $6.16 cents. Diesel prices are hovering around $8.34 cents. That steep price is a growing concern because of its direct influence on trucking and retail prices.
Based on current gas prices and the average San Diego driving habit of eleven-hundred miles per month… local commuters are now paying. on average, $200.71 a month just to fill up the tank.
