Perhaps. But I am in Boston, which isn’t much cheaper.
Anyway, I would rather live even HERE than in California!
I put 18 gallons in the tank today for 65 dollars in California.
Yikes.
‘We all recognize our dependence on our Creator.’
well, no; not all...
The reason it cost $50.00 to fill a gas tank in California is due to our high gasoline taxes. Thanks to Jerry Brown and the Democrats, our gas taxes are now 41.7 cents per gallon. The most recent gas tax hike took effect on November 1, 2017.

This is clueless. Let's see - for the average family that probably covers the electric bill each month or a significant portion of it. If a struggling family can then count on being able to afford their electric bill each month instead of worrying each month about whether or not their power is going to be cut off I would say that would be a huge relief and make life a lot better. Or it could pay for a week's worth of groceries. Allow them to hire a plumber to fix a leaky pipe they couldn't afford to get fixed before. Help pay their mortgage or rent. Flat out nutty to suggest an extra hundred dollars of cashflow every month for a struggling family would not make a huge positive difference.
She’s forgiven.
We didn`t have much growing up. I got a job as a milkman`s delivery helper at 4am daily before school. I saved 25 bucks and bought a beat-up Dodge, fixed it up. We lived on top of a small mountain. To save gas I pushed the car out of the driveway with my legs, with my younger brother on the clutch. I jumped in and we coasted downhill, motor off, for 3 miles til we got to town. Gas was 30 cents a gallon then-
LOL!!
#27 NOT in CALIFORNIA!!!
Thanks to democrats raising gas taxes again.
This is now:
Yeah, up until a couple of years ago, she was in my top 5.
Got kind of unattractive inside and out when she got political. Or the other way around; I couldn’t say which was cause and which was effect.
She ain’t looked like that since 1985.

I tried to express (approach) a tribute to this degree of humility in “A Humble Redneck I Was Born” (Google or Bing it).
Couldnt find it. Could you throw me a link?

I might have been mistaken on Bing. Google finds it, but a lot of FR people disdain or avoid Google due to its, er, controversial practices.
