for what it's worth, the idea is to send a message to Big Oil

Want to send a message? Buy less gas every day by driving a smaller vehicle less often!!!

A primer on market prices ... if there is a decreasing supply and an increasing demand, then the price will rise. Interfering with these market forces will simply lead to shortages.

And don't be quoting that stoopid CCPA report on me in response. All they're doing is telling mindless consumers what they want to hear.

Actually please do that. Hopefully prices will drop for that one day and I can fill my tank up (should be due about then). Then I can laugh at the silly "gas-out" people as they refill on Wedneday at $1.30/liter.

or is that going too far?

I really don't understand why people have a hard time understanding this. It seems like most the people I hear complaining about fuel prices drive a big truck or SUV.

thank you.....I've heard (and read) so many oil analysts talk about how a reduction of ones consumption of fuel by only 2% would greatly reduce the current price.

why are the big oil company's bad guys anyways? what makes them worse then any other corporation?

I hate how everyone complains how high the price of gas is. When you look at all the steps and processes that goes into making that gas come out of the ground and into the pumps, you'll see that it really isn't that expensive at all. What I don't understand is how bottled water is so expensive?

I feel the same way.

Why does everyone feel like they're owed cheap gas?
