ON the 4th of July weekend, I paid $2.89 per gallon for Shell Premium. Back in Los Angelus, I have to pay $3.31.
I just paid a little more than that at my marina.
The last mini-energy crisis in 2008 demonstrate that the real "pain threshold" is right around $4/gallon, that is to say that's the number that begins to make American change their driving habits. That is also where Demorats would like to see gas, or much more.
