I drove by a gas station earlier today and gas was up here to $3.25/gal. That's totally rediculous. The sad thing is there are a few things we could do to drop the price of gas. First, get rid of ALL the stupid taxes that are tacked on to the price of gas. Alot of the taxes that are tacked on have nothing to do with the roads or to gasoline. Second, let's start drilling for more oil here in the US. In Alaska we have plenty, also under the Rocky Mountains there was a deposit of oil shale discovered that contains more oil than in the ENTIRE Middle East. Third, we need to build more oil refineries to keep up with the demand for the oil we consume. I believe that if we drilled for our own oil and built refineries, it would create more jobs and we could lower the price of gas and not depend on foreign oil like we do.
Does anyone else agree with me?
