Old marine 08 hit the nail right on the head; moreover, If we went back to using trains and trolleys, while only using cars to drive distances of five miles or less and trucks could only haul freight to destinations within ten miles of the distribution house, the price of gasoline would fall drastically. Think about how expensive cars are. Insurance, maintenance, they're full of all sorts of excise taxes that you pay almost daily, and the real cost of roadways is phenomenal. Rail lines would be funded entirely by the private sector, they’re efficiency rating over cars and tractor trailers is astronomical, and the government would have to downsize itself because it no longer had so much revenue that’s generated by cars.
Old Marine, I was an 08 as well. 10th Marines

The price of gasoline has not doubled since Katrina. In fact, I think gas is within about 30¢ of what it was immediately following Katrina.
I do think gas prices are having an impact in many areas of the economy, but you should at least be honest about the prices.

Yip, Bush planned this a few years ago. You have got to admit that he is really impressive to A) start a hurricane B) get it to land in just the right spot. If he can do that then it should be just a matter of time before he waves his wand and gets everyone of age laid.

HUrricanes have nothing to do with the price of gas....you people slay me, talk about uneducated....
The problem is that most people do not understand supply and demand economics and what the structure is of the cost of gas per gallon. Do you know that we are using more oil now than EVER before! People are driving at an alarming rate. Do you realize how much petroleum’s used in making plastics and then how many things we use are made of plastics? The oil company makes about 9 cents a gallon as profit. The rest is made up of Federal and State taxes, the cost of exploration and production, Refining and then the cost of the additives that we have to put in the gas (we call it designer gas, thanks to the environmentalist wacko's). Do you know that we have not built a refinery in almost 40 years? (thanks again environmentalist). The refineries that we have are working at capacity and that is not enough to keep up with demand. Do you know that we hardly get any oil from the Middle East? Most people think that is where it all comes from. Not true. We get our oil form Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and Africa, in that order. What we get from Saudi is a very small %. You want the cost of gas to drop....STOP driving, open up the ANWR for drilling and off our coasts (thanks again environmentalist) OR come up with an alternate fuel.
