yesterday i was in Hollywood getting my alignment done, at a bitchin shop, and had to get gas. i went to ARCO, the cheapest gas in town, and paid $2.70 for 91 premium. thankfully, its much cheaper where I live. its at about $2.60 or so right now. 
the news also said that CA has now surpassed Hawaii as the most expensive state to buy gas in. yeah! if the Lakers are out of the playoffs we might as well be #1 in something! 
ps summer is still to come which traditionally jacks the prices up even more.

Isn't that a little hypocritical?
I didn't see PackRat do ANYTHING, either TO you, or ABOUT you (in this post, mind you.. I don't know of any others) You started in on him.. and he took offense.
Either stop "enjoying" his nuts, or don't get all up in arms when he doesn't PM you..

You see, the difference is, we don't have a communistic government that taxes the [censored] out of our fuel to pay for health care. So in addition to the ever-increasing gasoline costs, we also have the ever-increasing health insurance bill to pay too that you don't have.
Lord knows I'd sure as hell pay $3/gallon to avoid the $300/month health insurance bill (provided the level of care was even remotely similar) -- and that's just my share. My employer pays another $1000/month. I could pump a lot of gas for that much money.
I pay $700/month for family coverage health insurance, $0 employer contribution - that's a lot of gas ($2.45+/gal for premium here in upstate NY! Up $0.20 in the last week!). I'd rather pay that though than deal with socialized medicine where I might wait a year for an MRI when I can go get one in 15 minutes if my doctor says I need one. In the comparison between socialized Canadian medicine and private US medicine (ignoring the 800lb gorilla of Medicare in the corner) you get what you pay for.

The Mobil on Sherman Way and Sepulveda was $2.61 for premium yesterday. May check that out if you're paying $2.60 at ARCO currently. Or just get a COSTCO card $2.51 for premium

yeah the Costco gas is cool but there is always a big old line there and its way on the other side of the valley.

The lines are at certian times. If you go later, like after 6:30, there usually isn't much, if any line. And it's not that far from Northrige, although it is around the corner from work for me.

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!
