The activist group "Kiss My Gass" held a rolling protest at a Mobil Gasoline station located at Santa Monica Blvd. and Vine. They urged drivers not to buy gas from ExxonMobil/Esso gasoline stations. They also urged members of congress to drive hybrid cars "first" and to "take the bus" as well, then they would follow. Gas prices in Los Angeles are approaching the 5 and 9/10th dollar mark.
