i live in long beach CA and i paid 2.86 for regular this morning.
I know this probably won't be a very popular veiw but i am glad prices are going up. The US has always had remarkably low gas prices relative to other comprable places. I think this is part of the reason why people drive so many gas guzzling SUV's and Trucks here in the US, and why public transportation is so poor. Mainly, i am a crazy environmentali st and i drive as little as possible and in the most fuel efficient way possible because it is important to me, not to save money. I don't think current US gas prices, even now, value a clean sustainable environment at what it is really worth, and untill gas prices are high enough to convince peopel to use public transportation (which increased gas taxes could pay for), buy fuel efficient cars, and carpool, i won't be complaining.
