    I am not driving any differently than I was before the gas prices started getting out of hand. I want them to be lower, and here are a couple of things that should be done in my opinion.

    -Drill in ANWAR. I know a lot of people will not like it, but it is a great way to get the oil we need. From things I have heard and read, this will not even take up 1% of the area there, and will not affect the Porcupine Carabou that environmentalists are so concerned about.

    -Oil in Iraq. I do not believe we went into Iraq for the oil as some people suggest. If we did, the prices would not be this high. I do think that since we are there, we should take advantage of it, while still giving the Iraqis a fair price.

    That's all I have.

    Wow, that is scary info.! A story on the national news said that discount stores are losing money due to rising gas prices. Since discount stores usually target lower income people and these high gas prices are hurting lower income people the most, discount stores are having trouble making a profit. This includes Wal-Mart, who is reporting strong sales when it comes to food, but a decline in sales when it comes to more profitable non-necessary items.

    Guys stop yer b!tchin...

    I pay $200 a WEEK for gas, and thats after changing habits to save where I can...


    Remember our entire economy is based on oil.


    The price at the pump is only the most obvious increase.

    The problem for the US is not oil supply, but oil refineing capacity. The American people want oil, but not the polution involved with turning that oil into useable products, therefore we pay a higher price for another country to do it for us.

    9 years ago there was a hugh glut of both supply (oil) and refineries. The price hit historical lows 6 years ago, and the world economy expanded for 8 of those years, not just ours. Now global expansion (China & India) are driving the current consumption jump. Also oil futures traders had gotten use to 30% excess capacity (measured in supply, refinement and infastructure ie gettin that oil to market) now the traders are operating on margins of about 3.5% to 8%, (thats why any attack in Iraq, hurracane, or break down, drive futures up and the price of oil up as well) oil traders job is to guess how the supply & demand equation will go up or down to make money for their clients, because they will make money either way, up or down, as long as they guess right.

    I tell you, we need to lessen our foreign dependance for oil. One way to do this would be to drill in ANWAR or other places in the US.
