Fuel for Thought




With price for gas in L.A. and vicinity still out of control, I thought it might be time to check in with LosAngelesGasPrices.com and see just how expensive things have gotten.

Indeed, according to the site -- which depends on site visitors to report on where they recently filled their tank, and how much they spent -- only one gas station in the region is offering up regular unleaded at less than $2 a gallon.

Site contributor "Mr. Pink" paid $1.99/gallon at R2 Bros. in San Dimas (located at Arrow Highway and San Dimas) on Thursday at 10 a.m.

The second-cheapest location, meanwhile, is a little closer: The Shell station at 11423 Ohio Ave. in West Los Angeles is selling regular unleaded at $2.00/gallon. And the Mobil at Glenoaks and Olive in Burbank is down to $2.01/gallon.

On the flip side, the site reports that the Shell at Van Nuys and Magnolia in Sherman Oaks is currently the most expensive, at $2.39/gallon (although I swear I've seen it even pricier in Beverly Hills and Los Feliz).

Happy pumping!
