The price of gas out here has already topped $2.00 per gallon ... Diesel fuel has been flirting with 2 bucks .. but right now is still below that mark.
Our supply of fuel is restricted because not all Western refineries can formulate our special mix of fuel as mandated by the EPA.
Governor Ahnold is lobbying the Bush administration to exempt California (like New Hampshire recently) in order to bring the price down ... but then .. get this now ...
raise the gasoline tax to increase the state's revenues ... so pricing would remain the same. Nice trick, eh?
