Gas prices: Can you feel it?

Gas prices actually went down a bit this week in Southern California -- but experts say you probably won't notice it at the pump:

Southland gasoline prices dropped slightly this week after increasing for 14 consecutive weeks, but it is too soon to tell if prices will continue to decrease, the Automobile Club of Southern California said today. The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular unleaded was $3.462 in Los Angeles County today, 2 cents less last week, 15 cents more than last month and 6 cents more than at this time last year. The Orange County average price is $3.451, 2.6 cents less than last week. "The price decrease is probably barely noticeable to consumers when they’re already paying so much for gas," Auto Club spokeswoman Carol Thorp said. "At least the numbers are heading in the right direction -- down. But it’s still too early to tell if this is true relief or just a price plateau." (CNS)

I pray for $6/gal gas. Anything that will gently coax people to use less of the stuff.
