So what happens, for example, with neighboring counties, where there isn't any mass transit? Do they also pay $5/gallon, to help solve LA's problems? Or do they keep current gas prices, and get their roads clogged with Angelenos looking for cheaper fuel?

Gas taxes are state level based at this time. But let's say they become county based. Ensure that taxes are across multiple counties as LA really is a metropolis that spans many counties.

To see the effect you are talking about, you would see it and it has happened, in Primm, Nevada.

Some people make the effort to go get gas past the state line but really, it was never worth their effort.
