It is quite a bit higher in California, about $2.35 per gallon, but I see your point. A small bottled water is sometimes $3 and it ain't even a gallon!

hehe...sometimes I miss Cali...
California liberals are the type who complain about $2.50 gas(which is largely their own doing), then go and spent $6.00 on designer coffee...sheesh

It's a mere $1.97/gallon at Costco in Concord. A bargain!

and when inflation is calculated in at $1.75 a gallon now back to 1969 that changes the price to about 35 cents a gallon.

If the number DS cited were a tax cut it would be too small and if it were a tax increase it would be said to be insignificant; all from the LIBs trying to use it as a platform for '04 yet they won't allow drilling off the coast of CA, ANWR, or the Gulf of Mexico.

I'm in California and commute 3 hours a day to work. It adds up...believe me.

California has an $.18/gallon excise tax (it may be more now)
Plus sales tax of 7.75% to 8.25% depending on what county you live in.
Not all states have tapped into that huge resource.
When the price of gas goes up so does sales tax revenue, but we never hear that from the politicians.
