$5.00 Gallon Gas Comes to Los Angeles

[george4title]

Los Angeles Ca
A West Covina Mobile Gas Station is charging $4.99 9/10 for premium gasoline. Not quite $5.00 but almost. It's amazing how fast prices for gasoline have gone up in Southern California. Inflation? Oil speculation? Middle east tensions? Who really know... only thing I know for sure is that the common commuter will be paying the price.

don't get ahead of yourself..its NOT $5 yet.

We could make several government policy changes to change that. The price is that high because a collection of government agencies think it should be.

If you think this is a bad idea, then you need to change the politicians who make it so.

So now the SoCal Liberals can do their part to reverse Global Warming by walking more.

California is mandated by law to sell specially blended (read:expensive) gasolines due to air quality laws.

As for the common commuter- ride the goddamn bus.
