Completely and utterly unnecessary. Soon driving will be a privilege for only the middle to upper class.

Time for everyone to call the reps and senators to repeal all gas taxes, repeal all blending regulations, and call for the immediate construction of refinery plants. We don't have a supply problem here, we have a distribution and refinery problem. The problem isn't OPEC, it'* the militant environmental leftist tree huggers, and their ability to get the government to strangle the life blood of our economy.

You nailed it Sonoma.
GasBuddy.com is your friend. There'* still gas in Lake Zurich being sold for $2.75 (of course with all the traffic and road construction who'* crazy enough to go to Lake Zurich? Cheap Gas is the only good reason!)

OK it'* getting out of control. I called home (travel all week) and 93 octane just hit $3.60 (unheard of for us) and the news is stating that the gas stations are running out of fuel. All those idiots back home in WV ran to the gas station when prices jumped and filled every can they have. The best part, I am in DC and have to fill up in the morning. I didn't even bother checking the prices tonight, wanted to sleep good. I can only imagine where it'* headed out west. I heard that some Atlanta news reports are saying something about a pipeline down south? Seems like there is a different story everywhere. Makes me wish I was an oil magnate. Hmmmmmm, might be a good time to buy some heating oil futures.

OK so here goes. I paid 90.00 to fill my Denali (it gets 11 MPG), 50.00 to fill the Bonneville (Mostly Avg 14.5 MPG), And I paid 15.00 to fill my Honda VTX VTwin (usally gets 30 MPG). And you know what I Don't Care!!!!!!! And when I upgrade my MODS, I won't care if I get 6 MPG.
But my wife cares alot!!!
