While most will be traveling by road, AAA’s forecast also expects the amount of people traveling by air to increase to 8.2%, the highest it has been in almost 20 years.
Dominican University nursing student Marissa Colombo of Pacifica pumps exactly $40 of gas into her car at the Arco gas station in Mill Valley on Tuesday, June 27, 2023. Colombo said she used to put in $35 each time she stopped for fuel to stay within her budget but now has to spend $40 because fuel prices have risen. Kent and Katie Philpott of San Rafael fill up their car with fuel at the Valero gas station in San Rafael on Tuesday, June 27, 2023.
“I’m young, broke and in college,” she said. “I pay in cash so it’s capped at a certain amount, for my budgeting.” Colombo has Fourth of July plans to go camping in Mendocino, but she’ll be taking her mother’s hybrid car. She said whenever she travels, she uses her mother’s car because the mileage per gallon is much better, and therefore cheaper.
While California no longer holds the nation’s No. 1 spot for highest gas prices — Washington state is currently averaging $4.98 per gallon of regular gas — Marin residents are still feeling the sting of rising gas prices.
