What I'm asking is for us to curb our driving activities enormously. Can we do it? I think that we can if we put our minds to it.
I've already stopped doing the unnecessary things that I used to do. I've already decided that when I take vacation this year, I'm staying home. Tennessee, Florida, California, Hawaii, Arizona, Colorado, and the rest do not need my money to survive anymore. I'll keep it here in Indiana. If I can't get to it within an hour and a half, then why should I bother. No flying either, this is just an unnecssary expense. I only drive my truck to work, to a store (after work if needed), and back home. Once I get it back home, I don't move it till I go to work again. Maybe if the economies of the areas that rely on tourism for income, start to decrease significantly, they might persuade "BIG OIL" to rethink their get rich schemes. Hurt their bottom line and see what happens.
This is just my rant, but worth thinking about.

i was watching the news last night and it said that it costs the same as it did in 2001 to refine gas. Therefor it is the companies who are jacking up the pricee. i believe it was 27 cents here in canada that we are over paying a litter. Im not sure how much it is in the USA due to the gallon instead. Also i think it is so stupid what canada is doing with the USA. We sell a barrel of oil to the USA to be refined, last i checked, for 25$ and then buy it back for 75$ :-S totaly retarded. we have our own refinery here.

Gas prices are not high. We have some of the cheapest gas in the world outside of the middle east. It is over $7 a gallon in Europe.

I would like to know why we are getting the same gas mileage today as we were 40 years ago. Where are the cars of the future we were promised. I hate how the working class and poor are always being f***ed.

Live in a Mud Hut so Al Gore can spend 20,000 a year heating his. Plus he needs all the SUV's and private jets.
