$4/gal. gas creeping towards Elk Grove

Just when will $4/gal. gas hit Elk Grove?

That is the question many of us are asking ourselves as we dish out $40 and more to fill our gas tanks.

Many people we talk to seem to think Memorial Day will be the time when the $4 barrier is broken throughout Northern California.

Well at one Sacramento area gas station it has been within one-tenth of a cent of $4 for several days now. This station happens to be located at the Reed Ave. exit and I-80 in West Sacramento.

Obviously they are taking advantage of their location to extract a few more pennies per gallon from unsuspecting travelers. Most local stations are hovering around $3.90/gal.

Nonetheless, hold tight because $4/gal is coming to a gas station near you.
