Pasadena gas under $2 a gallon

A price I thought would never be seen again except in a museum or a movie about the halcyon days of consumption in the 1990s.

Garo Gas, at 960 E. Washington Blvd. has gas selling for $1.87, if you pay with cash, according to the losangelesgasprices.com website. Down the street, the Fastop gas station at 1010 E. Washington is selling gas for $1.98.

Regular readers might recall that is was just in July that we wrote a short article about Pasadena gas prices dropping to under $4- at just one station! That station was the Fastop at 1010 E. Washington. Everywhere else in Pasadena, and in most surrounding cities, $3.99 was a great deal.

On a related note, Metro ridership is beginning to fall with the lower gas prices, after a summer of record breaking ridership. The Gold Line's ridership dropped from 25,511 in September to 24,004 in October. I expect we will see an even bigger fall in November.
