the price of gasoline should hardly be the criteria as to which **** gets the vote.... as the SF city proper...no one seems to care here... people shop til they drop practically... the ones suffering are the families who bought their houses 2 hours away from work, so they could afford a house... they are getting hurt big time.... wether you pay more for gas or more taxes...it seems to all come out in the wash... and I agree, gas prices in the US versus the rest of the world were too cheap! i drive less then 5K a year between 2 cars... walk most of the time!
