I think they mean "raise," because I'd be happy for them to stabilize where they are right now (around $1.65 for the cheap stuff in Pasadena.)

In St Louis they are 1.45/gal. Of course they have a low gas tax and don't have to use that ethonalated smog formula but that doesn't account for the whole difference. Then again its worth 55 cents/gal to not be in St Louis, so I guess I'll right it off as the LA privilege fee and roll with it. Still much easier to pay $30 for a fill on a bad day compared to the $75 tanks last summer. It really kind of sucks that we are going back up when others are continuing to fall.
