   	No in California we use specially formulated gasoline to help reduce   
   toxic emmissions.  So of course the refineries change more for gasoline   
   made according to California standards.  By the way that is for the season   
   where lots of driving happens.  At other time the gasoline used is not   
   specially formulated and the Fossil Fuel profiteers keep the prices up   
   to what the market will bear.

   	So far gasoline is much more expensive than electricity.   
   	The electrical generation companies are increasing their capacities so   
   that they have more to sell to the people living in the hotter areas of   
   California in the Summer.
