I mean $3.09 a gallon who can afford this and ive heard rumors about it might go up to $8.00 a gallon i mean i might start a petition if you lived where i live would you sign it???

Answer 1

drive small car, motorcycle.

Politicians get paid by oil companies. Don't even think about gas price will drop. Don't you see the profits of gas companies soar up.

Answer 2

$3.21 in Maryland

Answer 3

Supply and demand.

But the government should eliminate all tax breaks to the oil companies.

Give these tax breaks to the ethanol producers.  But with the oil company lobby is powerful in Washington, so I don't see this happening anytime soon.

We must wean ourselves off of foreign oil.  And the sooner the better.

Answer 4

You've got the cheapest "gas" in the world outside of the major oil producers. What's the result? You drive the most inefficient vehicles and complain when it costs too much to fill these monsters up. I laughed when I saw that the Chevy Tahoe "hybrid" got the award for greenest american new car. In Europe we can get 70mpg from some of our smaller cars and 40mpg from the SUVs even though they are discouraged.

Solution: drive more efficient car.
