OIL.....oops a spill!!!

  So why does California have the highest gas prices in the nation?? I just paid $4.19 in east LA.  To add to this travisty I see another oil spill in redondo beach the other day on the news. There is so much oil reserved why do we all ready have to raise prices? and right before summertime.. Is this a ploy to get more money out of the public cause they know people are going to travel and go on vacation. WHY ?? The car companies are so slow getting cars out that don't need gas. Are these politicians makin it tough for car companies? Maybe cause they know cars won't need oil or gas? Just a charging station or some other cheaper form of fuel.... It's always about the all mighty dollar. They don't think of the common people who goto school or goto work, take thr kids here and thr, goto buy groceries, Etc.... This is another F...ed up time in our lives to hurdle yet again. Why do these people in the Middle East keep fighting?? Why can't they just get along, another topic for another day......  : )
