Gas prices surged around the Bay Area with many locations were well above $5.00 a gallon, with some were more than $6.00 this week, leading some residents to cut back on driving and limit their car use.
“I’m definitely driving less, yeah for sure, I’m walking places, riding my bike more, definitely only drive when it’s necessary,” Tomecko Hall said on Monday while pumping gas in San Francisco at a price of $6.31 per gallon.It is a reminder why working from home has many advantages for other residents, even if they usually save money by driving a motorcycle compared to a standard vehicle. The rising prices all year have started to make a difference in monthly expenses.
“This is the Bay Area, we are used to high gas prices but this is getting kind of ridiculous, hopefully it doesn’t jump up to nine or ten dollars,” said Wesley Addison, a motorcycle owner. “Hopefully these prices go down, let’s just get these prices down.” “I wanted to cry because I cannot afford it to be this much,” said Mya Tracy, while spending a few days in the Bay Area before heading out of state.READ MORE:“We parked our car and walked around the city instead of driving everywhere because I just don’t want to pay hundreds of dollars for gas every time I buy it.”
“Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be any sort of relief in sight,” said Aldo Vasquez, a spokesperson for AAA Northern California. “We can say as long as the price of crude oil goes up, we can anticipate these prices to continue to go up as well.”
