You would have to judge all the states differently as well. We have a BUTTLOAD of refineries in Los Angeles, and some of the highest prices? We don't even get a break because it pretty much costs nothing to transport gasoline to local stations... compared to supplying a state like Wyoming with gasoline.

To me, it will continue hurting for as long as gasoline is above $1.50/gal.

But even when I made $10/hour, I was still able to afford gasoline for a vehicle that got 10mpg.

But it's not about being able to afford it or not.... it's about THEM ripping US off.
