I'm in LA about once or twice a month and can tell you gas is pretty much the same there as it is in most places in Houston. I do agree more people and worse traffic.

i thought the tint laws for texas was

none on the windshield
can NOT be darker than 35% on the front
rear windows on side and on the very back can be as dark as your hear desires... that is what my dad told me and he is HPD... i could be wrong i guess but i have never seen a imspection person try and test my back windows on my truck, as they are 20%... either way dont worry about tint not too many cops give two ***** about it...

It's 25 on the sides (front seat), others don't matter including the rear.

I told him i was visiting my mom, and I was driving the DD, and showed him my Cali DL and told him I was leaving soon as well. But he didn't give a damn and wrote me up still..I guess that was my "Welcome to Texas" greeting...
