Good morning!

Gasoline continues making headlines.  With (unbelievably) more price hikes possibly coming our way in California.

But with last night's election.  Hopefully, the new President will find a way to deliver some relief at the pump.  We'll be watching that closely and keeping you posted.

All the shows are linked below.  Plus all the news I've curated for you too.  See you here next week. :0)
