They weren’t far off. Some of the more extreme locales (e.g. Malibu) were well over $4.00 a gallon.
I don’t think we’ll get to $4 only because the public will have no choice but to conserve. The public knows when to buckle down.
Traffic was very heavy yesterday and started about 7 AM, which is unusual for a Sunday. However, the lightbulb giveaway was probably the cause as everybody in town drove the 40 mile roundtrip in their V-10 pickups each burning three gallons of gasoline worth $9 to get their free lightbulb.
