Gas prices are still too high (property taxes, property, costs, China)

Gas prices are way too low. They should be at least $5. Americans overconsume fuel.

Yeah, that'd really help the economy.

Some of these fellas seem to think that bending the rest of us to their version of morality is more important that trifles like the economy

Yeah, I see that too. Sorry, but when my kids can save money due to cheaper gas so they can come home to visit (as in this weekend), it's a good day.

Exactly. Typical liberal false-logic.

You can use as much or as little gas as you want, but low prices are good no matter what.

Exactly!

I have read discussions on here how much people hate gas prices but they hate public transportation even more. Even if public transportation is subsidized, I think it is a solution to high gas prices.

Please do think

Transportation really means the bus, unless you happen to live in a major city. Buses are less energy efficient than personal automobiles per passenger mile.

That's because you've never been in business.

Almost any retail operation operates on replacement cost. Ever driven by that one gas station that stubbornly refuses to drop prices when gas prices plummet and is still trying to sell gas for 30 cents higher than anyone else and wondered what they were thinking? So did everyone else. That's why its empty.

Except that most vehicles are operated with only 1 or 2 people in them

It is. If your planet is wrecked it doesn't matter how good the economy is, we'll all be screwed.
