    You missed the George Bush Jr era highs. $8+/gal in California. Even Houston, Texas pumps were charging north of $6. That was shortly before the 2006 mid-term bloodbath. Mysteriously, prices absolutely tanked just before the election, then rebounded a few weeks after the polls closed - not that it saved anyone.

    Don’t worry. The last boat just parked in California and they say they’re good for the next six weeks. So I’m sure everything is going to be fine going forward.
