"Current gas price $2.63 for regular, up about 80% from before Bush-cheney were nominated..." Dummy, do you ever check your facts before you post? BTW, that was a rhetorical question. I doubt you know what the word "fact" means, much less how to check one. I see you've backed of the "doubled" claim - it's a start. But just because YOU may have paid $2.63 a gallon to fill your clunker, that does not mean gas prices are up 80%. First of all, in spite of your Hollywood-centric, myopic world view, the prices in la la land are NOT representative of what the rest of the nation pays for gas. The average price nationwide is $2.15 right now. In CA, it is $2.38 ($2.40 in la la land), up 42% from the $1.68 when "Bush-cheney were nominated." eia.doe.gov Try again, dummy.
