As the Iran war continues, the price of oil keeps skyrocketing. In California, which has the highest gasoline prices in the nation, the average price of a gallon is close to $6.
California is a large state with expensive housing, and long commutes are common. Many of the state’s industries are affected directly or indirectly by the price of oil, including farming, shipping, retailing and manufacturing.
The Times wants to know how the war and oil prices are affecting you. Are you a commuter who has switched to public transit or is shopping for an electric car? Are you skipping birthday parties or meals out? How is your business or work being affected?
Do you expect that high prices will last? How is that affecting your plans, like summer vacations?
We may reach out to hear more about your submission, but we will not publish any part of your response without contacting you first, and we will never publicly share your personal information.
