If you are complaining that $3.00 to $3.25 a gallon is way to high you must drive a big suv or truck that gets 10 to 12 miles a gallon in heavy traffic. Time to get a more fuel effect car that gets 35 to 45 miles a gallon. Or you could get a all electric Nissa Leaf that gets 129 miles on a charge
or perhaps you don't have the $30,000 for a new electric car, and you have a commute of over 40 miles. FAIL!
Gas here hasn't budged all year from $3.85- 3.95 a gallon.
The distances out here are so vast that most of the electric cars will take a very long time to become practical, but I'm seeing more hybrids around; we have many folks who make a 35 to 50 mile one-way commute who work here, and as soon as high mileage trucks begin appearing, I'm sure they will sell very well here. This is truck country.
I'm sure that if some of the European and Japanese hi-mileage diesel engines are dropped into domestic pickups, they'll take over the market. I also think we will soon be seeing a return of compact trucks like the Ranger and Dakota; they always sold sell here, but not in other places.
We'd have to destroy the economy again to get to that price. That's how Bush got it from $4.20 to $1.80 in a matter of months. I'd rather pay $3.00 than go through that devastation again.
No, he didn't. The commodities market drove oil prices through the roof with speculation, and the speculators all dumped their oil on the market as soon as demand tapered off, dropping prices through the floor.
That's the classic boom and bust of the commodity futures market. It happens all the time with every common commodity. Over 100 years ago, the same exact thing happened with buffalo tongue futures.

Most of the people that are complaining could afford a $30k new car and how the hell does 40 miles round trip or each way = 129 miles
