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.
Must remember to fill up when we visit family in Ventura next month. $2.35 here still.
