YAY! Most expensive gas in the US

Was just watching CNN and saw that my home town, San Rafael, CA just north of San Francisco has the most expensive gas in the country with at least several gas stations with $2.30 for *regular*. Yes, that's right, 85 octane. There are cheaper places tho. During the war I was forced to pay $2.49 for 91 octane, but there were several places selling it for upwords of $2.69. At least it's coming down.

And to think that they might go up even more now that the summer is approaching.

Twist that grip, lay 'er down and drag some pegs. All at $.03 a mile (gas only)

Although I need some new shoes for mine. Looking at 208's or Pilots...cant decide on longivity or fun.

My bad.. I meant 87 not 85. But yeah.. Right now it's in the $2.19-$2.29 range for 91 around here at non-watergas stations.

I know the gas prices issue has been beat to death in other threads. I just thought it was amusing that I was being ripped the most.
