Here in LA, gas prices have stayed about the same or dropped 2-3 cents
per gallon.  Regular can be found for $.96/g.  and unleaded is approximately
10-15 cents more.  Just out of curiousity I'd like to hear from others
around the country (world) to see what their prices are like.  I'm also
curious as to WHO sells the cheap gas and expensive gas.  Here it seems
like Exxon and Chevron are the cheapest while Mobil is sometimes comparable
but usually a couple cents more, which is where Shell is.  Union and
Texaco are generally even a couple cents higher.
Additionally, once you leave LA, the gas seems to go up about 3-5 cents/g
in San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Bakerfield, Fresno and
Modesto.

May the gas be with you!
