The same thing happened after Katrina in August 2005, as I recall - California prices were actually equal to or lower than some other areas of the country.
Around August 2005 you can see in this graph Ohio's average price exceeding California's, albeit briefly.
Nice graph, thanks!
Investor's Business Daily has a continuing series on "Breaking the Back of High Oil", and today's edition has a fascinating breakdown of some of the actions that the Democrats have taken over the last three decades or so to ensure that our country has no defense against the effects of rising oil prices.
