It seems to me you are blaming Bush right here
The fact remains that the president always takes the fall for the price of gasoline regardless ah

Nope. I'm not blaming Bush at all. Again, the point is that gas prices are not dependent on who is President.

Then we are in agreement..... Wasn't that easy.

According to the EIA the average US household uses about 1000 gallons per year, the additional expense annually would be $250. If you don;t think $250 is not that much I'll give you my address and you can send me a check every year for that much.

This 25 cents is in addition to other costs like ehtanol.......

Senators Warn New EPA Rules Would Raise Gas Prices | Fox News

Raise it 25 cents a gallon. Hell, raise it a dollar a gallon -- in exchange for ditching those g#*damned CAFE mandates so that we can drive cars with style again instead of everything looking like a stupid jellybean on wheels.

Easier said than done in an increasingly transient society where people and jobs move all over.

I did exactly what you suggested. Moved to a city, use public transportation when practical, went to school in the city, got a job in the city... and then they moved my job location 20 miles out to the suburbs. So now what should I do in your facile "I'm not stupid, you should be smarter like me" world?

Pray tell, WHY then use his name?
