Default The REAL way to get gas prices down

Ok, I finally figured out how to get gas prices back to a reasonable level. All Fleetwood Mac fans must en masse must start writing letters, protesting, whatever we can do, because how the hell are all of us going to be able to go to shows next year if this keeps up?

I'm sick about this. It cost me$48 to fill my tank last night!
I won't be going ANYWHERE this summer. This is going to kill the vacations of many people, right?

More like about $8 per gallon. The sad thing is that a car is still cheaper than the train

It costs me about $75 to fill up my tank, and it's just a regular-sized tank

Better yet...just ride a bike. Don't buy gas at ALL.

This morning I was watching the news and they showed a short clip of the President making a speech last week. He said that we need to start buying Hybrid cars. I mean that would help the problem but buddy....WTF!!! I am 16, just got my license, and only have $5000 to buy a car (my parents are going to be nice enough to pay insurance). And not to sound conceeded buy I am getting paid about 3 more dollars an hour than all my friends at my job. What about them who don't even have 5000? How much are these hybrids? I was told they are very expensive. Now if i get a car by summer Im gunna be lookin at gas prices at over 3 bucks.....

I have an '03 Saturn Vue. I guess I get about 25/MPG. In a 15.5 gal. tank, I spent nearly $40 last week. I think I saw gas around $2.77 this morning. When I started driving, around 1994, gas price per gallon was about $.85..... It's sickening how much the price has gone up.
