Yup I paid $3.05/gal about 30 min ago on the corner of Cahuenga and Franklin in Hollywood. Doesn't really bother me.

As far as the Cali. bashing, just let it go PackRat. Everytime anything about Cali. comes up you start bashing like crazy. Why? Envious? I don't know why but it is rather childish. I love Cali. I make over twice what I would make in other parts of the country (except maybe NYC), I can walk to some of the best clubs in L.A. from my appartment, I can be at the beach in 15 min, and the women are out of this world beautifull. Oh yeah it is about 86 and not a cloud in the sky right now. I do have to brave 55-60 deg. winters though.LOL. Also just about everyone I know and have talked to in L.A. says that they love it and would never leave. I know I won't unless I get into Columbia Law School.

Seriouslly though people live where they like it. I don't understand why people want to bash them for it.
