Well, I see that it's time for our annual rape by the petroleum companies.
Just as the announcement came out that this year there would only be a minimal hike in gas pump prices ("Lower Prices Expected at the Gas Pump," April 4), the average in the San Gabriel Valley went up 4 cents per gallon. This on top of the fact that, since the end of February when we stop using "winter" gas, supposedly resulting in a price drop, pump prices have gone up an average of 12 cents per gallon. That's 16 cents per gallon in the last month.
