Poll: Who’s at Fault for the High Price of Gasoline in the County?

White House report makes case that the Obama administration is doing all it can. Your thoughts?

The average area price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline dipped Monday to $4.378, but the average price is still 51.3 cents higher than a month ago and 40.7 cents greater than a year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service noted by City News Service. 

The White House is having its say, notes a Huffington Post story, unveiling a report Monday (attached) that boasts of successes by the administration in making America more energy independent over the past three years. But why are San Diego County motorists paying so much?  Who bears the most blame?
