To:  CARB Board Members,

I am writing to you to urge you not to endorse the restrictions on
the "carbon intensity of fuels" proposal that is currently before
you.  This will cause the price of gas to increase at the pump. 
The citizens of California already have one of the highest gas
prices in the nation.  A increase in fuel prices will cause a spike
in inflation throughout the state since everything that is
transported to stores or for manufacturing is affected by gas
prices.  This spike in inflation will remain forever and not
subside.  I know you feel that CARB does not set fuel prices, but
any cost increase to the gas companies will be passed on to the
consumers.

Let's let technology by the auto manufacturers like autos with
better fuel economy, lower emissions and gas/electric hybrids
achieve the results you desire. 

Don't try to force us to drive less by adopting a policy that
spikes gas prices.
The people of California will become very angry if that is the end
result of this policy.
