Re: Gas r up
The highest price gas around here is right around the Chevron Refinery. One reason is probably due to the close proximity to LAX.

Re: Idle Mixture Screw
20 inHg is good, If your Idle Mixture Screw is 3 turns out, you may have a vacuum leak somewhere. A lot of good suggestions where to look in previous posts.
