High gas prices are all relative

To the editor;

You think paying roughly $2 a gallon for gasoline is bad? Out here in California (I'm a Cape Girardeau native), we pay up $2.50 to $2.75 for gas. Recently, my boyfriend and I took a trip down the Pacific Coast Highway. Gas was selling for $3.80 a gallon. The Pacific Coast Highway has some pretty isolated areas, but charging tourists that amount is crazy. Consider yourselves lucky.
