Gas Prices continue to rise

It feels good to be presient, except when I have to fill up my tank:

The state's average price for a gallon of unleaded hit $2.31 Tuesday, according to the AAA of Northern California auto club. That's 8 cents higher than last week, 22 cents higher than a month ago and 36 cents more than January's low.

Much of the Bay Area has seen gasoline prices shoot up 24 cents during the past month. San Franciscans now pay $2.35, compared with $2.10 in mid- February. San Jose's prices rose 26 cents during the month, reaching $2.26, while Oakland's jumped 24 cents to hit $2.38.

"The price of gasoline is going up almost every day," AAA spokesman Sean Comey said in a statement.
