Ventura County, CA, home of the gypsy moth quarantine, cheapest gas right ATM is $1.97 -- less than half what it was this spring and summer. California's anti-smog formulation always runs between twenty and forty cents more than neighboring states' prices.

But we're not bitter. We just remember to gas up leaving Vegas.

There doesn't seem to be as much variation in gasoline quality in CA as there is in some other regions of the US. I learned not to buy cheapo gasoline in Maryland -- Homoco's 87 octane made my car run like it needed a tuneup when it didn't. Had to top it up again with something more expensive when I got to half a tank to smooth the running back out.
