cheapest way from LA to SF

i'm visiting LA in late august and want to go up to the bay area for a couple of days. what's the cheapest, easiest and most convenient way to do this? flying costs about 80-100 bucks, amtrak costs about $60 (but of course, takes longer), are there any other options?

You should fly, unless you value 8-10 hours of your time at less than $20 or so.
Plus, you get to fly Virgin America. How sweet is that?
A new bus company is starting service from LA to the Bay Area, and 2 seats on every bus are $1 !!! Most cost more, but there are supposed to be plenty available at $5 and $10 according to a newspaper article I read. See http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-numegabus31jul31,1,1185503.story
The bus company is at www.megabus.com
