I agree 100%. I'm note sure what we can do. I don't know if raising a ruckus with our politicians will help. It seems to me if the bakers started charging $5.00 a loaf for bread everyone would stop buying bread and bake there own. The problem with oil is they have us by the short hairs. We can't run our vehicles with out gas. You can heat with wood but I see guys getting $200 a cord so what's the point.

So what's the answer. I read an article in October that said gas consumption was down by 7 to 10% in the month of September. Was this was because the American public got tired of the $3.00+ per gallon? No, I think it was because school was back in session and vacations were over. As long as Jong Q Public can get gas they will buy it....at any price I think.

I just don't know what the answer is.
