IMO, if everyone would cut their usage of gas just 10%, the prices would come down. They charge us that price because they know we will pay it.

I still see countless drivers just driving around "crusing" at evening hours (and I suspect all night, as I hear neighbors cars..) I see young drivers especially sitting and talking or texting with the engine running.

I recall the beef prices of the 70s...they just went up and up and up... UNTIL we didn't buy! A whole week..across the nation. Beef prices plummetted, and stayed down a long time.

There is nothing that has caused this increase in gas. Nothing at home, nothing on the world front. Too bad we can't get our collective selves together and boycott buying even two days, to get their attention.
