Ration gas to the rich and give free gas to the working poor.

The people that think up this things forget about the ones that need every day to work to get buy. That would heart them a lot if they make it a four day work day did they think about that I DO NOT THINK SO!!!!

The knowledge for high gas mileage has been around for years. But if we had high mileage cars then the oil companies would loose money.

If all car makers would increase gas mileage to 200 miles to the gallon, it sure would help save the oil and the people we buy gas from might get the idea that they need to help their own people. I have a book that was re-printed in 1982 on how to get 200 miles per gal. Surely there is enough knowledge nowdays that car makers know how to do this. The oil we use today will someday run out and then what??

remember when Bill Clinton was the president,and gas prices were $1.30 a gallon and the united states had a surplus instead of a deficet and the united states was headed towards being the richist country in the world,but then the republicans took over and now we are just another third world country with a few rich republicans,everytime I pull in to pump gas it makes me proud to be a Democrat.

Ray is right. The government shouldn't have a #$%&%% thing to do with gas prices. The government makes more per gallon than the oil companies, the wholesalers, or the retailers. If you aren't aware of the facts you shouldn't complain.

One question I haven't heard anyone ask is why the government makes more money from a gallon of gas than the so-called big oil companies?I lived in europe a number of years ago & at that time we were paying a little under 5 dollars per gallon. I can only imagine what the price is now. Everyone asks why hasn't the president do anything? Well it is not the governments place to control prices. That is the responsibility of the market place. Do they not teach simple economics in school these days?

This is why I am doing most of my shopping online. I drive daily and spend around $600 a month in fuel and yes this is putting a serious dent in my wallet. Something has to be done! Maybe we should get cost of fuel raises as well as cost of living raises.

I think if all americans would boycott these ridiculous fuel prices then the government would have to back down.Recession is gonna hit if something aint done to stop these lunatics
