California generally has the highest gas (petrol) prices in the USA. This may come as a surprise for visitors who imagine that California is the most car-friendly place in the world. But while a car is essential to get round California's sprawling cities or cross its large expanses of countryside and desert, California's car-dependency has come at a cost – notably the cost of urban pollution. Higher gas prices are there to encourage Californians and visitors to use smaller more fuel-efficient vehicles and contribute to a cleaner environment..
Free admission to amusement parks
Some parks offer "free admission". This means that the park itself is free to enter. Visitors can enjoy the atmosphere, eat in the caf�s and food outlets, buy trinkets and do other things; but to use the rides, they must either have a pass or wristband, or in some cases pay for individual rides as they use them.Other places, other countries...
