Yes, that is why our prices are high too.  Because of the oxygenated fuel mixture that we use.  I wrote and complained to the legislature.  One person replied back that they agree 100%, and that they had tried to get the governor to release the restriction on oxygenated fuel until they  get the two facilities that are down, back up.  The governor said no, so we are stuck paying the higher prices.  I paid $1.85 last night, so they do not appear to have gone up much more in the past 3 or 4 days.  It seems like they always go up right before the weekend here, so I'm thinking I should start buying my gas mid week ;)  
 
You know, just to stay on the topic of gardening: It is an inconvenience, I can't buy as many roses as I usually do this time of year ;)  I have managed to sneak in 8 more roses though.  I purchased 2 this week at Home Depot, big healthy plants, in bloom!:

Hi, Penny,

I know that our high prices in CA are largely due to special formulations to reduce smog, and that a significant portion of the price per gallon also goes to maintain our highways by way of taxes, but.......When we drove home from choir practice last night, I saw prices for regular unleaded at $2.17 all overr West L.A., which we drive through to get home to the Valley.
