More regulations cause the price of the product to go up because it increases the price of doing business.  When the regulations are only that strict in one state then there is generally a smaller supply and a higher demand which causes the price to rise.

Simple reality 101, otto.

 

No because I am not sure wtf you are asking me.

I was responding to JJ who lives in Cali and is pissed about the gas prices.  I answered his question.

I can only guess you feel Mexican gas is inferior due to no or poor regulation.  That may be the case and I never said we should have no regulations.  My point was the very strict regulations in California compared to the rest of our country is the reason gas prices are higher there.

I feel like we have had this conversation on these boards over and over yet some people can never comprehend where the problem lies.

To quote Paul Simon from "The Boxer," "I do declare, a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest."

Friend of mine who lives in S. Carolina said she filled up recently for $1.65/gal. How ya like that one, J?? Paying about half what you are there in the land of fruits and nuts. Beautiful state to visit, would NOT want to live there! Regulations up the ying yang plus! The 9th circle of liberal hell....
We're paying $2.09 presently...

JJ try Costco 2.65

Homo cutting and pasting again.  It is amazing what passes for humor among the "best and the brightest".

Just discussing gas prices and they bumped it up overnight 30c. Now we're at $2.39/gal. Did some Sheik fall in his golden bathtub or something?
