     Hi All,
     According to a TV news report (I saw it ONCE, it
    was never repeated, unlike all other news stories
    around here) the use of fuel (specifically
    gasoline) in California was 1% LESS in April than
    it was in March. In San Francisco it was 7% LESS
    ( due partially to the detour at the East end of
    the Bay Bridge, encouraging Mass Transit which has
    set new records).
     The price of gasoline in San Francisco is still
    the highest in the continental US, and shows NO
    SIGN of responding to so-called "market forces".

     I don't expect fuel prices to act in any fashion
    that resembles a free market economy simply
    because it is NOT a part of any "free economy" but
    is wholly a controlled and manipulated 'market'.

     I seem to recall the Supreme Court has ruled that
    municipalities can use eminent domain to seize any
    property for the financial benefit of that
    municipality.
     Let us all write our state representatives and
    encourage the seizure of all the refineries.

     I bet the Supreme Court changes it's position in
    record time...
