I believe it would be a better idea to grab the President, and sit him in a corner until he knows what he's done.  Or do like when a dog makes a mess in the house, rub his nose in it until he knows he was BAD.

Good for you, as you are on the right track.  If everyone decided to take two days off from work, say a thursday and friday and for those two days and the weekend no one drives or uses gas what the impact would be.  OPEC TO THE KNEES begging us to take their crude on the buy one get one free plan.  I have often said the same thing you did but I think billboards and a planned event of 'JUST STOP'.  This would be an event, if it could be pulled off, that would change the manner the oil people do business.  After all, look at what they do to their customers, me and you.  Do you think they would care after 4 continual days of no sales at the pumps??  There has to be more like us and when the number grows to be significant that are willing to perform such a simple task to such a major impacting event we will again be in control.  Where did we lose it, by hanging our heads and bitching every time we fuel.  The station attendant has nothing to do with it so I tell people, if you are going to do nothing about it don't bitch cause I do not want to hear it.  Bless you as I thought I was the only one with that philosophy.  There is hope.

They would rather raise all taxes, not just gas taxes!\n\n\n\n\nThey are for themselves, not the "little people"!

I think that the government could do something but they are so out of touch with reality that they won't. When Clinton was faced with the same thing he released the stategic reserves and that brought the price of gas down right now. Bush could do the same thing but he won't because he is probably profitiing by it some way.

Every elected official at the Fed level!  They have screwed us for decades! A good a$$ whupping some tar and feathers followed by swift trip to long rope with short drop!  Right on the DC steps! It's time to screw them back" YEEEEHAAAA!!! Pollution free electric power has been all over our Gov.  Millions of high wage jobs to build electric power plants. Millions more jobs to build electric roads to use the clean power for electric cars and trucks.  2 nations and 1US state pay not tax the residents. Kuwait pays $58,000 y, no rent, utilites, phone, hospital,  or income tax bills!  I know it's oil! Oil is just 1 of thousands of commodities. With all the commodities in your state why aren't you getting paid?  With all the resources of the Feds why aren't they paying 50 times better than Alaska.  Wtih all 3 systems working right now; why aren't the Feds taking the best from each system and doing better than Kuwaities at paying US! They lie, cheat, steal, back stab, corkscrew, dirty deal, murder, take bribes, graft, taxes are higher, $3 gas, 50% jump in elec bills, nat gas is sky high, int rates are up and going higher, hooked to rebuild Iraq, give our money to foreigner that hate us, waste money like no tommorrow. If they don't go we're bankrupt, they screwed that too!

Oh there is outrage.  It just doesn't make the paper.  We are marching, we are writing,  we are talking.  Hopefully if will show up in the next election.  Even in Ohio where the next guy running for governor is in charge of the election, is head of the GOP in Ohio and is being supported by the mega churches.  He also says he see not conflict of interest in this situation. He is the same man in charge of giving Bush Ohio via the election irregularities that he claims didn't happen.  Like more Republican votes in Gahanna than there were registered voters.  Like having two voting machines that worked in mostly Democratic neighborhoods with a wait line of two to three hours while in the Republican neighborhoods it was a twenty minute wait.  I live here I know.  I live in Republican neighborhood.  Son lives in Democratic neighborhood.  We both vote.  Like having stock in the company he recommended for the contract for voting machines in Ohio where there is not curtain around the vote.  Eventually everybody gets caught.  Karma is a b**ch.  I just hope I will be around to see it.\nAnd if one more person talks about 9-11 I am going to scream.  There was not ONE Iraq terrorist in the bunch.  The majority of them were Saudis.

That's babbling nonsense. You're trying to make mathmatical proportions out of unrelated concepts. What do automobile accidents have to do with Iraq? This is a logical fallacy, and a weak attempt to spike anger. Why would you want people to flame you like that?

Yep, I'll speculate, they are giving us shit gas. I'ts 2.65 in Wisconsin and only goes half the distance in my car too. There are places where gas isn't treated here, but now are great goverment wants to poison gas across the state. One way of not raising the taxes elsewhere, just buy twice as much gas. Use 2x's the amount-get2x's the tax.

Gas futures rose as a result of the Democrats taking office, knowing full well that they do not comprehend the importance of this resource!\n\nThanks so much for asking! I'm glad I could clear that up for you!

I think that's a question that we all need to consider.  Many people are aware of our pollution problems and horrible conservation policies, but are unwilling to do anything about it, even spread awareness.  But, to answer the question, I'd give up my gas-guzzling car in a heartbeat.

oil not gasoline. according to this blogger, yes\n\nSen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, is demanding that the Commerce Department release detailed reports on which companies are exporting U.S. oil, how much and where it went.\n\nLast year the nation exported 268 million barrels of oil. Shockingly, according to Dept. of Energy figures, that's about equal to the amount of oil we imported from Iraq in 2001, the year before our latest war with that country began. It's also about equal to the most optimistic guesses about production volume from ANWR, if drilling is allowed there.\n\nIn other words, if we simply held onto our own oil, the United States would have no oil interest in Iraq at all. And it would also negate any perceived need to disturb an irreplaceable wildlife refuge in the search for oil.\n\nBut the Commerce Department refused to provide the detail Wyden wants, saying it could only be released to a Congressional committee, not an individual representative. The agency also claims federal law forbids disclosure unless a finding is made that withholding the information contradicts national interests. That sounds like hogwash to me.\n\nWyden's request is of significant interest for two more reasons. First, it is likely that if oil drilling is approved in ANWR, much of that oil will be exported to Asia rather than sold in the U.S. Secondly, the more obvious reason is that every motorist and politician who can warm a chair is concerned about the nation's growing dependence on imported oil. It would seem to contradict our economic and political interests to worsen this imbalance by selling off our own supplies.\n\nIn a letter sent Monday to Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, Wyden demanded release of the information, calling it "directly relevant to the coming Congressional debate on how to address our nation's dependence on imports of oil and other petroleum products."\n\nI'd call that an understatement. But Wyden faces an uphill battle to get a committee to demand the numbers. Though Wyden is a member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, it and all other Congressional committees are controlled by Republicans. And as we've seen, Republicans these days aren't very interested in facts, especially if those facts contradict their agenda.

The government of the United States was not established to act as a purchasing agent.  What do Americans expect, free fuel?\n\nA large part of the cost of automotive fuels is the high cost of refinng, with the legislated requirement of reduced pollution, both on the road and at the refinery.  Recent legislation requires new low levels of sulfur in diesel fuel, which is great, although it will raise the cost of transportation and the cost of goods at every store, and reduced profit at the refineries.\n\nSince the Democrats have gained more seats in Congress, and have promised to "investigate" Big Oil, they are simply driving my retirement nest-egg into overseas investments, because I can't afford to invest in American companies whose profits are being depleted by their own government.  Goodbye Exxon Mobil.  Hello Petroleos Brasilieros.

problem is that most people do not listen to automated recordings. Just call them to confirm- worse that can happen. They will cancel, but you have not driven out there. Gas prices are too high for driving around.

Not that I am for this--But dear it wouldn't matter and why you ask---well here is an article--this is starting to open up a new can of worms--please understand--Anyone in the world could have all the oil in the world..and it really wouldn't matter at this point...\n\n$3-a-gallon gas: Blame Washington, not Big Oil\nWhat's driving up gas prices? It's not just higher crude costs; it's new regulations.\nNelson D. Schwartz\nMay 3, 2006: 2:20 PM EDT\n\n\n(FORTUNE Magazine) - With gas prices roaring past $3 a gallon and consumer fury rising even faster, Congress and the White House are engaged in a Kabuki-like ritual: pointing fingers at each other over who's to blame, while furiously attacking Big Oil for reaping gargantuan profits - as drivers get hosed at the pump.\n\nIf the politicians really want to figure out who's responsible for the latest round of price increases, though, they'd be better off looking in the mirror. That's because the rise isn't only due to higher crude costs. It's also fallout from some little-noticed provisions in the energy bill passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bush last summer.\n\nBuried in the 551-page energy bill - which was supposed to ease energy shortages, not worsen them - were new regulations governing what additives go into gasoline and how it's refined. Corn-based ethanol is replacing the petroleum-derived additive MTBE, but Congress timed this logistically tricky switchover to occur just as demand for gasoline peaked ahead of the summer driving season - right about now.\n\nThe end result is an extra strain on the refining and distribution system when it can least afford it.\n\n"It's too late now, but Congress has consistently failed to sequence regulatory requirements in a responsible fashion," says Bob Slaughter, president of the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association.\n\nAdds Larry Goldstein of the Petroleum Industry Research Foundation: "The gasoline crisis is made in the U.S.A., not in Iran or Venezuela or Nigeria. At least half the increase in gasoline prices is due to unintended consequences of the energy bill, but no one in Washington wants to admit that."\n\nIndeed, while crude prices have risen 21% since the end of 2005, gasoline is up 37% - a sign of just how stretched the system is. Congress's mistake, says Goldstein, was setting the new law to go into effect 270 days after it was signed - May 5 - rather than waiting until fall, when gas demand is typically on the downswing.\n\nNow the big question is, How high can gas go? Well, perhaps the only good thing that can be said about paying three bucks per gallon is that it seems to be slowing consumption - which should, in turn, reduce prices. Over a four-week period in April, says oil analyst Jamal Qureshi of consulting firm PFC Energy, U.S. gasoline demand dropped by half a percent, to just over nine million barrels a day. That may not sound like much, but it's a reversal from the 1.7% average annual increase in gas consumption the U.S. has experienced over the past decade. If $3 is indeed the tipping point at which consumers change their behavior and alter their driving habits, it's the one silver lining in an otherwise very dark cloud for drivers.\n\nThe wildcard in this scenario, of course, is the increasing risk of a military confrontation with Iran. If that happens, says Qureshi, "all bets are off." Given that crude oil accounts for 55% of the cost of each gallon of gas (refining accounts for 22%, taxes for 19%, and distribution and marketing for 4%), an upward spike in crude oil would push gas up even if the bottlenecks caused by the energy bill ease this summer.\n\nThat's why Red Cavaney, president of the American Petroleum Institute, says the answer in the short term is conservation. Washington is indeed being turned upside down when it's left to Cavaney, Big Oil's chief lobbyist, to talk conservat
