No President has control over gas prices. O.P.E.C.determines the price of a barrel. The Clean Air Act adds to the price per gallon with the summer additives that have to be added.

Actually the reason the prices are so high is because Iran and some other states in the middle east that have all of the oil either stopped letting us have any oil or put economic scansions (taxes) on us so the prices had to go up in order to conserve the oil

Make fuel prices irrelevant. Drive an electric car. Take a look at what has been developed with NO HELP from government, automakers, or oil companies:

Where are the statistics that show people driving less and using less gas. I would educatedly guess by seeing more trucks, hummers, suburbans, SUVs and traffic jams sense 2000, that people are spending more on the mortgages, and credit cards to pay for the gasoline.

Bush has no control over oil prices, other than federal tax levels on it.
China is buying up oil like crazy. Simple demand curve economics.

No. We need higher fuel economy standards (CAFE) -- not higher fuel prices. Bush is just a puppet of the oil industry.
