If, by stating that you pay "extra" to have cleaner air, then what is it that most other cities (with clean air already) are having to pay?
You state that you have some "small" payments that you deal with in order to live cleaner... why is it that nobody else "has" to do this, as well? Somehow major metropolis' seem to be able to stay cleaner AND not have "small" gas increases, and the like..
Not saying I hate CA (I like it alot...), I just didn't follow your logic...

Califronia has a Commie blend of fuel which is more expensive to produce and burns cleaner. We have also outlawed all Diesel cars and SUV's as of 2004. The special fuel we utilize costs more to refine and has gotten our air cleaner with less pollutants. The size of our urban areas are quite impressive and with the majority of poulation living in Valleys where the air is rather stagnant in the Summers paying more for special fuel to reduce pollutants and improve air quality is a small trade-off IMHO.
Other urban areas could benefit from the fuel we use as the air would be cleaner than what currently there is.
So I think cities like Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Atlanta could benefit from these fuels, they choose not to!
