Go back and read it again, Laura.  It's not about the price of GAS.
It's about the price of GASOLINE.  Big difference there!

Anyway.... Forget about getting the nation involved in this.  It's a
Californian thing!  Check that petition a little closer.... It's a
Californian independent gasoline DEALER's problem.  Nothing new here.
When the source is limited, the refiners are in control.  As the market
appeals to other refiners, the price will adjust.  What do you want to
do, force the refiners to sell at a loss?  Where do you suppose that
will leave you?  Let the market be free to move and in the long run
most of us will be the winner.  What a country!
