Now that gasoline has jumped more than a half dollar a gallon, is there a station you've found in Saratoga that isn't as expensive as the others?

Let us know in the comments. Your neighbors will appreciate it.

The commute page on Saratoga Patch shows an array of prices around the city. A cheap price can be difficult to find. There are the ones listed:

• $3.86, Chevron, 18560 Prospect Rd.
• $4.16, Union 76, 12015 Saratoga Sunnyvale Rd.
• $4.24, 76, 14395 Big Basin Way

In California, gasoline prices have risen 57 cents per gallon the past month to an average of $4.22 for a gallon of regular unleaded.

In the San Jose metro area, gas prices have increased 58 cents the past month to $4.18 for a gallon of unleaded regular. That price is up 10 cents in the past week.

Why have gasoline prices risen so sharply? Is it seasonal? Is it supply and demand? Is it manufactured? Here's one blogger's opinion. Give us your thoughts in the comments section.
