So it seems some folks near the retail end are taking advantage of the situation. If it's not the station owners, I'd suspect the distributors.

The gas station owners merely provide you with your gas. They don't set the prices. Don't shoot the messenger. I hope the gas station owners choke on a chicken bone.

I wouldn't be surprised if they jack it up to $5 for the holiday. Yow.

By the way, cheapest gas I know of is at Beverly and Fairfax. I may have already mentioned that elsewhere, but it bears repeating. Unleaded is under $4 (only by 3¢ but I'll take whatever I can get).

That will be the single best way to get people in LA to actually think about where and how often they are driving and who else is going there and start carpooling which will help traffic, etc. I know so many people who live in the same area and go to the same events and all drive on their own. If it cost them $30 to drive, they'd all be in one car for sure. I can’t wait for $10 a gallon.

In the UK a few contacts of mine already let me know they are paying the equivalent of $10/gal so we still have it pretty easy. Doran you are probably not entirely incorrect.
