San Jose, up 14c/gal
San Fran, up 12c/gal

PettyEddie2012 Champion Author New York City Posts:1,754 Points:351,315 Joined:May 2012	Message Posted: May 15, 2012 8:48:39 AM Ignore PettyEddie2012 Report Abuse High gas prices yet roads are still congested as never before. I for one would LOVE to see higher gas prices, to drive down the number of people driving. Less people on road = happier driving experience for me, me, me. It appears that $4 gas is not the point which drives enough people away from driving to make my driving experience enjoyable. I estimate $10/gallon gas would do the trick. Looking forward to MUCH HIGHER gas prices, PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!
