You think that is bad try San Francisco, The other day I paid $1.49 for self serve regular unleaded. Last year when oil was $25 - we were paying 1.39. Can you say crooks. Already being upset with anything related to oil - I saw the owner and told him it was criminal to charge that much for gas - He actually tried to defend it citing he was providing jobs etc. The city council who only act on things when they are totally outrageous even introduced a pricing bill but Chevron who is based in San Francisco threatened to move corporate offices if they passed it. (they even had city big wigs like Peter Magowan - Chairman of Safeway & owner of the giants who receive big$ from chevron advertising, write letters to the councilmen in opposition to the legislation. Funny how when oil futures trade up the next day they raise the prices yet one year later with oil down 60% somehow in San Francisco - We are paying more for Gas???? Sorry but that is criminal...... Lose in stocks and lose at the pumps.
