the media is the reason why people are always complaining.. whenever gas goes up, its all over the news and it makes headlines...what are people suppose to think when thats all they see?.. when gas goes down, the media dont talk about it much.
my family owns a gas station out in fresno, we only make around 10 cents for every gallon we sell...we make more profits from our carwash and our store selling snacks and beverages..

Inflation adjusted gas prices were the lowest during the 90's. However inflation adjusted gas is now actually at it's highest price since 1920 according to this chart.
Coincidentally this falls in line with the major oil companies reporting record profits. Again I'm not taking a shots at the family owned and operated gas stations but at the big guys.
Edit: damn you Chad, beat me to it

Dang, sucks to live in Cali.
Gas price here recently went down. Exxon & Texxaco is around $2.35/gallon
But, you have the consider the living expense differences within each states.
Crap, I heard Cali grocery baggers make upwards of $12+/hour vs. $8 or $9 in Dallas.

To get an idea how much regular unleaded costs around here, check out www.sanjosegasprices.com and http://www.sanfrangasprices.com/. That site doesn't track premium though.
