In CA, you are paying the price of boutique gasoline.

You guys are getting away cheap.
Up till today the price here is $1.217 per liter.... about $4.70 per US
gallon.
The regulated prices always change at midnight Thursday...so who knows what
tomorrow will bring.
Soon it might be cheaper to drive to Maine for gas.



"The regulated prices?" Why are the prices regulated by the government?
