We're a tenth of a penny away from $5 a gallon for REGULAR gas, y'all. Very exciting.
In related news, things are getting heated in SoCal. At an Orange County Costco, a La Palma doctor freaked out while waiting in line to buy gas in Cypress. Someone, it seems, tried to cut in line. So, the man who took an oath to keep his fellow man healthy, or whatever, "grabbed a tire iron and confronted a motorist who cut into the line."
Nice.

its only a matter of time.
technically, we are a tenth of a penny away from $5/gallon gas! lol, maths.
math is hard.
arco arco arco arco.
muni. muni. muni.
cab. cab.
walk.
Who the hell is that person and why is he on my computer screen?
Shell employee? Spokesperson for 90s style Ray Ban sunglasses?
mine is sorta like this: walk, muni/bart, cab, caltrain, zipcar. none of it involves me directly paying for gasoline! yay! but i blast the a/c in the zipcar to increase my carbon footprint since i feel guilty about walking so much.
Tire iron confrontation completely justified. Line cutters are the new plague carriers. A pox on all their houses. BTW, I f**king LOVE IT that gas is so high. I drive a load but couldn't give a rats about the price, at six bucks it's still way too cheap. Viva la revolution! The suburbs will rot, YAY!

It must be the free market at work - the more expensive gas is, the more desparate people are to buy it.
I totally agree with fizzandpop. I am SO glad that gas prices are high and I hope they go higher.
For too long, Americans have been fat, lazy and entirely too self-entitled to way too many resources.
I also hope the suburbs rot and become the new inner city.
Yay! Keep it coming! Bring on $10/gallon!!
$10??
Do I hear $11?!
I think we should go back to rationing, like in the war. Then we can get black market gas from spivs with tiny pencil moustaches and spats. And ladies silk stockings made from parachutes.
Anyone willing to reduce the freeway speed limit back to 55? Studies show that driving faster than 55 (such as the max limit in most areas at 65) is a waste of gas.
The state dropped it to 55 during the 70's oil crisis.
Dropping the speed limit is lame. We don't have an oil shortage here like in the 70's, so the effect would be nil. What we have is rising global oil demand and a falling dollar.
Bring on the 10$!!! Maybe that will finally push people into agreeing that yes, dedicated light rail and better public transportation generally is the way to go considering oil is a finite resource. Our state needs way better rail infrastructure. Europe has been paying 8 bucks for a gallon for the last 10 years, and they really don't complain about it.
Screw $10. I'm ready for $20. People will have to REALLY suffer before public transit will improve.
Well that's smart isn't, save $5 bucks, peak up your stress in Tijuana, then drive back to the US, idle for 2+ hours in the border crossing and support the monopoly PEMEX is.

just great sense, SoCal-ittes.
