San Mateo’s average price jumped in two days to $6.04 from $5.67, while San Francisco’s leapt to $6.03 from $5.68 and Marin’s cost ballooned to $6.07 from $5.69.
Hold your horsepower! The average price for a gallon of gas in California surged past the $6 mark Thursday, with drivers in San Mateo, San Francisco and Marin counties seeing some of the most painful spikes in the Bay Area.
Dawn Cusulos, who commutes most days from her home in San Bruno to San Francisco, said the cost of filling up her teal Ford Bronco has spiked from $60 to $80. “You don’t want to drive as much,” Cusulos said at a San Francisco gas station charging $5.79 for a gallon of regular. “But I kind of have to. I’m a Realtor, so I just have to show when I have to.”
John Treanor, a AAA spokesman, described the Bay Area’s 30-cent jump in prices in 48 hours as “an unusual increase.” Kevin Slagle, spokesman for the Western States Petroleum Association, said maintenance is “vitally important for the safety of employees and the community and the efficiency of producing the fuels, and planned carefully in advance.” That planning includes “the consideration of supplies,” Slagle added.
