Fill 'er Up: Gas Prices Rise Two Cents

Gas prices didn't stop going up at Labor Day, unfortunately.

The average price at the pump in Capitola and Soquel rose 2¢ over the last seven days, making a trip to the gas station about 25¢ more expensive than it was a week ago on a standard tank.

Both Soquel Quik Stop stations are the cheapest in the area at $3.81 for regular, up from $3.77 last week. Coast Gasoline in Capitola and USA Gasoline in Soquel follow just behind at $3.83 and $3.85 respectively.

Gas prices peaked this year in the first week of May, when the average cost per gallon in Capitola-Soquel was $4.26. For now, we're still below that mark.
