These 10 Scenic California Train Rides Turn Thanksgiving Break Into An Unforgettable Journey

California gas prices drop 17 cents. See what's ‘driving the relief at the pump'

Gas prices have fallen across the country over the past week, including in California, according to fuel experts. “Gasoline prices fell in every state over the last week, while diesel declined in nearly every state, and the national average dropped below $4 per gallon for the first time since early August,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a Monday, Nov. 9, news release. However, California drivers are still paying the highest average prices in the nation, despite the recent decline. What’s behind the decrease at the pump? Could California gas prices continue to drop and could that mean a less-expensive Thanksgiving travel-wise? Here’s what fuel experts said: What are current gas prices across the US? The national average for regular gasoline was $4.01 per gallon on Monday, Nov. 9, according to AAA. “Gas prices have been going down for nearly two weeks, as crude oil has dipped back into the high $80 – low $90 per barrel range,” AAA said in a Thursday, Nov. 5, news release.

CEO's gone; High-Speed Rail still plans to lay first tracks this year. Does it need the win?

The recent resignation of its CEO hasn’t changed the California High-Speed Rail Authority ’s plan to lay the project’s first tracks by the end of year, says the head of the agency’s board, a milestone that could improve the public image of the often-maligned project. The agency says it has already begun receiving the building materials it needs to begin that work in Kern County. “We’re moving forward,” board Chair Steve Kawa told The Fresno Bee. “We’re going to be getting track, and we’re going to be laying track in 2026.” The rail authority has spent most of the last two years promising the physical milestone by the end of this year — more than a decade after construction began in the Central Valley — so failing to begin that work could worsen the project’s already strained public image. Gov.-elect Xavier Becerra, a Democrat, has indicated he wants to reform high-speed rail, but he has provided few details about any potential plans. Jonathan Underland, Becerra’s spokesperson, did not respond to The Fresno Bee’s request for an interview with the governor-elect. If the agency succeeds in laying track in the next six weeks, it could take a late win in what
