Technically, Bush doesn't leave office until January 20th 2009, so the button maker may want to issue a correction. Blaming Bush specifically is also a massive oversimplification of how fuel prices work, but his presence can't actually help so I won't push the issue.

Gas prices in Marina Del Rey are about $3.10 for regular, so you valley people are getting the bad weather and bad gas prices. The fastest way to cheaper gas is to take oil off of the futures market, since its those panicky idiots who use every lame excuse possible to raise prices regardless of current inventories and whether the gas has actually made it to the station for retail sale.

I'm considering a moped for errands and trips which don't necessitate a car or freeway usage. (Comparisons to riding fat chicks aside.)
