Price of gas in San Diego and California's large metro cities?

Since I posted some information last night about "what are the best gas credit cards for 2012?" so you can find better ways to save money at the pump with plastic this year, I decided to add a few more information in regards to the gas price around California's metro areas. Weather you are pumping Regular Mid Premium or Diesel, you will be able to compare the price of gas from today with last week and even last year!

It helps a lot for people looking to relocate to our beautiful sunny state. This week end the temperature was 75F+ and it's very nice compared to the freezing cold that Europe is having right now or the East coast. Check the weather below and if you are looking to migrate to some warmer weather, give me a call and I'd be glad to help you. These temperatures are a of 08:20 AM PST on Monday February 6th 2012.
Then lower you will be able to print the AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report for the main cities of state of California from San Diego and Orange County up to Sacramento and Redding,CA.

Best gas credit card for the year 2012

In my North County San Diego and Orange County blog, I like to not only provide you with information and details about the local real estate market and property values or local MLS search but to also provide you with some financial tips to help you better manage your money.

Growing up in France, I never had a credit card till I moved to the United States. I didn't even knew what it was really, since the concept was far beyond our family values in regard to spending money and credit cards are just now getting popular in France in the last 5-7 years or so. I know why my grand parents were successful entrepreneurs, they had three valuable things going for them: they both were born during "The Great Depression", they started to work very young by necessity and they would never buy anything if they couldn't buy it cash.
So when I got married to my husband many years ago and he told me I "needed" a credit card to establish myself in the U.S, it was a tough pill to swallow for me. I was even disappointed when the bank gave me a $1,000.00 credit card as my very first credit card not knowing it was in fact a great card for a first card.
I'm glad I listened to him and did it! I know now why it was so important to him that I go for it and nurture my credit since this is a very important tool in our American society. Today credit is critical, from getting a cell phone, applying for a job, to have access to military clearance or getting a car or purchase a home, credit has to be cultivated and not disregarded.
I'm still not a credit card advocate and rather use cash or by debit card but it's a necessary evil.
If you need some help with improving your credit, don't hesitate to ask me!

Looking for the best gas card for a little relief at the pump? It’s not as simple as picking the highest listed rewards rate. Since I have just acquired a new SUV, I spent some times looking all over the Internet for the best gas credit card for 2012. Here are below some valuable tips if you are looking for a gas credit card from a great savvy website named Nerd Wallet.

Gas credit cards with over 1% rewards at the pump:

It’s not just about the rewards rate

• Costco has cheap gasoline, but most gas card programs exclude wholesalers from their 2%-5% gas category reward rates, somewhere in the fine print.
• In fact, it’s probably safe to assume that the only way to get more than 1% rewards pumping gas at Costco is with the Costco True Earnings card, or the Costco True Earnings Business card. The fine print on these cards explicitly states that Costco qualifies for the bonus reward rate.
• Card issuers that explicitly ban Costco gas from their “gas reward rate” include American Express, and Citibank.
• Costco only accepts American Express.

• Gas stations such as ARCO in California often charge about 5%+ less than other gas stations, but only if you pay in cash. They accept debit cards at a surcharge. Clearly, you should not pump with a 5% card at Shell if you are just as happy with ARCO gas which costs ~9% less.

• Many cards, such as the Shell card only pay bonus gas reward rates for gasoline, not diesel fuel.
• Many cards, including Shell and PenFed Platinum Cashback Rewards don’t pay bonus gas reward rates for airplane or boat fuel.
• Many cards have restrictions on the maximum number of gallons you can pump each time (e.g. 75 gallons with the Amex Costco card), or with the maximum you can spend each time ($400 with the American Express Blue Cash card). Check the fine print first!

Follow these tips to be safe and savvy as you look for lost HomeAgain pets:   • Read your Lost Pet Alerts and take note of the missing pet's description. • Keep a lookout in your neighborhood, during your commute, and talk to friends & neighbors. • If you've seen or found a pet from a Lost Pet Alert, report it to HomeAgain.   What to do when you find a lost pet:   • Assess the situation carefully. If you feel safe, slowly approach the lost cat or dog. • If the lost pet is aggressive or otherwise unstable, call a local shelter or animal control for help. • If you feel safe approaching the pet and it is wearing a collar with ID tags, check for information about the owner and let them know you found their lost pet. • If the pet is not wearing visible identification but you are able to safely approach the pet, take it to the nearest animal shelter or veterinary clinic to be scanned for a microchip. • If you are unable to approach the pet or determine the pet's owner, contact your local animal control agency. Animal control can scan the pet for a microchip and get the pet off of the streets, so it doesn't get injured.   Some PetRescuers may decide to shelter a friendly cat or dog until the owner can be contacted or while waiting for the owner to arrive. In those situations, it's important to keep the lost pet separate from your children and pets.
