How long do you think it will be before President Idiot is forced to
impose price controls on gasoline and diesel?

I would welcome that, but not for financial reasons. I'm sure that shortly
after he suggested or implemented the idea, one of his oily friends would
invite him to visit an oil rig in the Gulf, ride in a real live
hel-i-o-copter (pretending to fly it), and put on a hard hat & pretend to be
an oil rig guy. I suspect they'd arrange for him to "slip and fall in the
ocean", by accident, of course.

Excuse me? president Idiot? You are the freeking idiot....the laws of
supply and demand dictate that if we force the price down, the supply
will not be able to keep up with demand.... I'd rather pay $3/gallon and
have gas than pay $2 per gallon and not be able to get it.

There are two solutions... use less or make more.

I don't know about you, but if the price was 25 cents a gallon, I wouldn't
buy more gas. Before it went up, I was already adverse to driving more than
necessary.

Doug,
You may find this hard to believe, but the price of fuel makes a major
impact on consumption.

***WHOSE*** consumption? It's too much of a generalization.

- The Rochester-Toronto ferry announced that they'd cut back trips after
labor day due to fuel costs.
- You may go driving around for absolutely no reason other than to just
drive around. Or not.
- You may cancel a 5 hour trip if the cost of gas goes too high. Or not.
- I might, or might not.

Who are you talking about?

Oil runs the gubment though and there's little hope for real relief.

Just saw a news report about a Marathon station in Chicago that's charging
3.69 for regular. That's a 3, not a 2. No typo error. The owners slipped out
the back when the TV crew tried to interview them. This is going to get
ugly.

I live in Chicago, and have not seen anything around 3.69, but I don't doubt
it... however, check this out

Highest gas is in Death Valley, CA at 3.88 a gallon...

Just paid $ 1.20 per liter of regular self serve as I topped up a rental
truck.
My second son suckered me into helping him move today.
