For a moment, I thought it said Gay area gas prices - my mistake

And didn't California opt out of using MTBE as a smog-reducing oxygenate, in favor of ethanol? If you'll remember a couple of years ago, re-formulated gas took prices above $2.00/gal in Illinois. By the way, oxygenates work only to reduce emissions in much older cars (built prior to the late 80's), In newer cars, the fuel sensors simply enrich the air-fuel mixture and reduce gas milage. So not only are we paying more, we're using more. Smart, huh?

All that...errr...activity can cause gas.
