These are the latest gasoline and diesel fuel prices on Fair Street in Chico as of 11 am today.

This is one of a few Smart Cars running in Butte County. Starting at about $12,000 this European sub-compact gets an estimated 47 miles per gallon. The driver of this car said it takes $20 to fill the gas tank.

Is this where we have to go to cope with escalating prices?
