Actually I do not worry about anything much...but I AM concerned about people and the hardships they endure because of lousy politicians...\nAs for gas, well, like you I do not have far to go and one tank would last me a month or more.\nI hate it young people will never get to own their own homes, relax and enjoy their families because of the overload they endure.\nIt takes two working to make it and that is sad...not at all what God intended for families.\nAs for a Pres hopeful.....get real...they are all the same mold.\nI am voting everyone out this election...how 'bout you?

yes, and we are far behind other countries in mass transit. I used 10 percent Ethanol 10 years ago. Paid less for it than Gas. The oil companies took it off the market. If HisBushyness had any clue what was going on in America he could fix the problem with one executive order. That will not happen. He will not cut off the hand that feeds him. If he puts price caps in place and the supply goes up then the price will go down and that would stop his cash flow from the wealthy oil corporations who own Congress.

Fill your tanks only half full uneless you need to make a long trip.You do not need to stock Bush's & Cheeny's gas on your shelf.This will cost the oil company's $3000,000,000.00 a day and will leave only half the room in the supply tanks To but in new gas.The tankers will be stacked off the coast trying to unload.I remember coffee going to $5.00 a pound in the seventys.People stopped buying and in two weeks the price was down to $1.50 a pound.Lets go Amercians the power is in your purse's and wallets "Let's Roll"

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.

You're all a bunch of morons, drug smoking hippie wannabes who shout about the evils of a corrupt media and then go spew every nonsensical utterance you hear on CNN.  You pretend to be a Democrat because you want people to think you're the most compassionate imbecile in the world, but really you're uninformed and quite clueless.  Something about hell and good intentions.  Something about a brainless scarecrow.  Put your pants on straight, embrace the conservative values that make America great, and vote Republican.\n\nThe girl above me talking about Republicans being responsible for gas prices - sigh, do some research.  I'll let the guy above who speaks about convicted felons voting (umm...) stand for himself, and this guy under me who wrote a little inaugural for us all, yeah, it sound great, but like his entire party he doesn't seem to have anything to say about HOW Dems are going to make all that sunshine happen, or where they're going to pull it out of.  With this kind of spittle flying around, how can anybody seriously look highly upon the Dems?

It's all about money. They don't care how much they charge because they know that people will continue to pay for it. I thought Congress was discussing the gas situation. What happened to that?

I think in the next election a Democrat will get in because everyone is over the lies, war, and over spending.  If anyone remembers, when Clinton was in office gas was at .77 cents per gallon - today its 2.73 a gallon at the cheap gas station.  Bush has not done anything to help this country and has only driven up the debt and broken ties with other countries by going to war, based on lies.

◙ the only way to get gas prices to go down is for everyone to stop paying them. you can't blame them for their high prices. you can only blame yourself for paying them.\n\n◙ here in east moline illinois gas is $2.53 :)

Hey! It's not all about the American People it's all about this green stuff they call money. \n\nThey always have some dumb butt lame excuse for raising the prices. \n\nMy joke is this!! OH MY GOSH!! OH MY GOSH!! President Bush let a fart, it may very well put a hole in the ozone layer lets raise the gas prices, it will take more people off of the streets and reduce air pollution. that's how stupid it's getting to be\n\nOkay..now that I am here...Gunther...get me the soap box lil man LOL!!!!! He's a good cat. LOL\n\nYou know this gas price thing is killing our economy. I just watched the news tonight. People are limiting their driving. They are limiting their entertainment and other things so that they can conserve gas so that they can get to work to earn money so that they can keep STUPID BUTT GASOLINE IN THEIR TANKS!! That is going to drive prices up everywhere because people are not shopping as often, they aren't going to other places as often and in order to keep business rolling grocery prices will jump the cost of entertainment will jump\n\nHELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ANYONE OUT THERE??? Holy smokes. The almighty buck is killing the American people. We are being smothered by it. We are being smothered by the greed of the government. \n\nAs far as Bush goes. Don't know . Don't know. I just don't. I think he needs to step in and put a stop to this! It's really getting to be out of hand. I believe that many things are going to happen. The crime rate will go up people are going to start siphoning gas tanks\n\nIt's going to be really really pretty out there. \n\nOkay, I am off the soapbox now. Come here Gunther..put it back where you got it from and come get your treat. LOL!! \n\nOkay, I had to add a stupid corny humorous twist to it ;)

Yes, I noticed that too.  Funny, I thought that the Democrats were going to help the common people and force the gas price below $1.50 a gallon.\n\nOh, right, wrong party.  The Democrats allowed Exxon and Mobile to merge back together, and allowed Amoco and BP to merge!  \n\nSilly me, I thought the Republicans were the party of Big Business!

At first yes, I did feel helpless.  I mean I am a single mom and its hard enough making ends meet.  But you learn to make adjustments in other financial aspects to accommodate the rising gas prices. I totally understand where you are coming from, but we have to deal with it right? I guess we don't have to-but what else are we going to do? Just like you said, would we rather be able to provide for our families and end up getting bitten in the but because of the financial struggle or get fired or quit and live off of the state for the rest of our lives? I guess for me, I am way to proud to have to live off of the state the rest of my life, therefore I deal with the rising prices in EVERYTHING.  I hope all works well for you!

I JUST PAID OFF MY HONDA INSIGHT.  IT HAS A 10 GALLON GAS TANK.  BUT IF BUSH'S GAS PRICES GOTO $6 A GALLON IT'S STILL GOING TO HURT TO PAY $60 EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND.

Yes, but gas prices have been going up and down so much that I don't really think that it has anything to do with the elections at all.

Used to be $2.21 as I remember. I saw yesterday the gas station near my house was $2.33. The low gas prices arguement was used by the GOP as a campaign tool and now they still lost. So, it is rising again.

Not Totally. I Hear Everyone Complaining about the High Cost of Gas. I've Found a Way to Convert Regular Pump Gasoline into Propane.My Unit is Safe, Compact, and Uses Low Pressure Air to Do It. But, it's Illegal to Put on Any U.S. Vehicle Made From 1996 to the Present, even if Fuel Economy is Improved, and Emissions are Lowered.That's the EPA-OBD-II Vehicle Inspection Law.We Can Thank The Clinton Administration for That.If a Vehicle Does Not Emit Enough Pollution, It Will Fail Inspection, and be Illegal to Drive! This is Insane! I've Been to the US Patent Office and Looked at Patents Kept Off The Market. Case in Point, the Pogue Carburetor, Which is On File as Having Achieved 100 + MPG With a Flathead Ford V-8 That Normally Got 15 MPG!All OBD-II '96 ^ Engines are Set To Run 14.7 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel.My Vaporizer Does 100 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel, With an Actual Increase of Engine Power, and Longer Life. 50 + MPG With even the Largest SUV! And, It's Illegal! If I'm Wrong, then How is it That Engines DO Run On Propane? To Do So Legally Requires the Use of a Large, Cumbersome, Expensive Tank Cylinder, Which must be hauled with the Vehicle, Expensive Metering Equipment, and the Added Hassle of Having to Refill the Tank.So Much Hassle that even with Gas Going Back to $3.OO Per Gallon, it's Just Not Worth the Hassle!Again, I've Heard it Over and Over Today, and Tonight, People Complaining About the High Cost of Gas. Know What? All Petroleum is Essentially the Same on a Molecular Level. Only the Dispersal is Altered. But The OBD-II Law, that Applies to the Vehicle That You are Driving Can't be Altered! Most People I Try to Explain This To Don't Want to Hear It, But They Still Complain About the High Cost Of Gas. I'd Like to Fix Up Older Vehicles Converted to Vapor, and Donate Them to The Meals On Wheels Program, Volunteer Veterans' Services [We Owe Them So Very Much!] Homeless Shelter Assistance Centers, and Many Other Worthwhile Charities! See, Greed has Stopped This Every Time! Now, The OBD-II Law. So, No, I'm Not "Happy Tonight"!

I think dems and reps alike all realize it's time for min wage to adjust to the current inflation-it's not really a political issue-it's more common economics-
