How Many think the gas price is to high.?

They're high.  But I think don't think we're in the "too high" range yet.  That'll probably be this summer and the year after.  We're still around 80% of the all time high for gas compared to the oil crisis we had years ago.

it's $3.89 a gallon for unleaded gas last time i filled up but that was more than a week ago. i live in the chicago suburbs. illinois is number 8 out of 11 states w/ the highest gas rates, so says the news. district of columbia, new york and arizona are in the top three, i think.\n\nwtf is the deal w/ diesel being more than unleaded. it used to be less than unleaded and this should be rightly so since diesel is actually a by-product of unleaded gas, so it should be less. i'm not totally complaining since i don't have a diesel engine, but this whole gas price thing just doesn't make sense. i agree: what the hell is up with this?

Most likely yes.I think everyone should park their cars when they don't really have to go anywhere.Hopefully there will be a solution for this problem soon. I limit the gas I pay for because I think the price is getting too high.I say keep your gas,I'll spend the money on something I need more. And of course,I don't think anyone has prevented over-charging for the gas yet,so I just don't buy any more than I absolutely have to have.I know other business suffers too because family's are having to pay more money for gas to go to work,so they don't spend money on other things like extras such as movies,new homes,new clothes etc.I'd drive a solar car if they made one. With global warming there would be plenty of free fuel. Fuel here in South Carolina-I paid 3.69 per gallon this week.The last crisis we had not to long ago,I did pay over 4.00 for gas per gallon.Looks like everything else is going up too. Our family stays home as much as we can.

If they release oil reserves every time the price rises a little it will go down, but we will pay for it dearly when the oil producing countries see that our reserves are getting low. Six years ago our reserves were at an all time low. We held our own for a while but eventually the suppliers realized we didn't have backup and that's how we reached the all time high prices. Several months ago the reserves were in the ninety percent range and that is when it finally started dropping. If they do use the reserves properly gas prices will remain stable. If it does drop dramatically look out we will pay for it later.

id say keep them money will come...  I'm in Louisville KY- by the end of this summer it will be almost $5 a gallon- its already $2.85+  don't loose it. we still have a untapped source in Alaska.  you know as well as i do that our politicians wont tap it until the rest of the world is dry.  then when they finally do it will be ridiculous. you will be rich.

There really isn't much. All gasoline has to meet federal standards. Go for price.

Sounds like a good choise to me. As in the near future with the cost of petrol going up continually, people wont be able to afford to run a car!

For myself and alot of others it is hurting right at what it is a gallon. Something needs to be done about the rising cost of everything....

My old prediction was that their will be little change in consumption until fuel reaches $7/gallon. After watching the news last week, I'm beginning to think it may be closer to $5/gallon.\n\n$12/gallon would be too high, as the transportation charges would cause a serious blow to the cost of consumer goods and trigger inflation big time.

It is funny how people complain about the price of gas and then complain when the Pres. tries to do something to lower that cost. Lets here some solutions from the people who grip about everything he attempts to deal with. I have yet to hear a plan that is logical from anyone. Alternative fuels ,yes but where are the people at that are willing to fund the development of these fuels? The president can not force companies to make a new fuel source as that would not be free enterprise. Do you think the oil companies who's profits are way up are really going to work hard to come up with other sources? I would love for the US to go to ethanol but someone with more money than me will have to set up the refineries. This solution he is giving is not enough and I will agree with you there but it will take more than the Pres to fix this problem. I will be honest and say that I could do more to help like take public transportation, quit driving my truck, stop letting the grocery store us plastic bags for my purchases but I like these things. We need to Stop playing the blame game.

What makes you so sure there is price gouging going on? You pay less for gas than almost every major industrialized nation in the world, but you complain about the price as you pump gas into your guzzling SUV. Sit back and realize how good you have it, because just about every European out there would love the opportunity to buy gas at 2.50 or even 3.00 a gallon ... they would consider it a bargin, not a price gouge.

It is already here.  But we don't want to change and continue to use gasoline like when it was cheaper.  It will start affecting how we travel and live when the price continue to increase.  We continue to buy these oil from Iran (not our friend) and support their government through our need for oil.

I think we will probably see gas go to $3.75 a gallon this summer.  I drove to New York this past weekend and a gallon of regular gas was $2.80 and super was $3.05 (Ultra was $3.11)   I really feel sorry for all those people with their super big SUV's.  I think that as long as we keep on making these large cars that are like houses on wheels and keep paying to fuel up the prices are not going to come down...  just think what will happen if Iraq gets sanctions imposed on them by the west....

the gas companies have greedy businessmen behind them milking this for all it's worth.  they are lying to the public, and making record profits!!!  its disgusting.  no one in this government will take a stand on this.  i think that they don't want to bite the hand that feeds them(money)!!!
