I paid $3.34 a gal yesterday, I refuse to be frog soup'd by feeling'blessed' to pay 'only $3.34' I remember paying $.19/gal , I could buy 9 gal of gas for an hours wages.... now an hour's wages buys me 3 gal. on a good day and I work 2 jobs to keep from being homeless.

The sad thing is that I think the price is going down because people don't have money to do things so they are driving less.

BTW...California is usually broke, they frequently borrow money from banks. They are now trying to get it from the government because the interest rate would be lower. How horrible is that? Lets not borrow from banks like everyone else. We can get a lower rate by putting the loan on the US taxpayers.
With the shortages in some areas after the storms this summer etc I expected them to jack up prices for us all. California's been pretty good with stuff like people who can buy new cars, they tend to buy hybrids, driving less if possible, etc. But yeah doubt anyone can afford to go anywhere they don't need to, especially when we hit our highs and had closed it at $5.

I dunno wtf if going on with California, really, so over my head this financial stuff but I know they cut a ton of jobs and programs already, UCLA and other big schools, etc all say we're broke and hit hardest by all of this financial stuff. And now in LA another strike possible. Ugh.
