[Vision2020] The Cost of Gas Locally

[Tom Hansen]

I see what you're saying, Bev.
 
And I agree 100%.  
 
I have a father and a sister who both live in Thousand Oaks, where the average price for regular gas fluctuates daily between $4.55 and $4.70 per gallon.  I hear the horror stories every Sunday when I call them.
 
On top of that, add on a careless attitude about cranking up the air-conditioner whenever the temperature exceeds 90 degrees (the average lately in TO has been 102), that bleeds and leaches off the electricity resulting in brown-outs throughout the LA area, and . . . yes, you are right.  It is tougher down there.
 
The 100-dollar tank of gas has become a reality in some regions.
 
Something MUST be done.
