Maybe try cutting your consumption by say 30% for a month and send those ratbastards a real msg. Oh wait, that ain't gonna happen either, America just can't do this either, we like to drive so much. Unless demand drastically drops, nothing is gonna happen with the gas prices.

so why doesn't another oil man run for pres. and the idiots of America elect him?
I guess going to a gas station and pumping gas is just so much fun to ever think about givin it up for alternatives that are much, much better.
we'll use it till its all gone...........and then since the price of what is left will be so outrageous..........dirt track racing will become a thin shell of its former self. So then we will have to figure out something else for sprint cars to race on..............just more work all around for everybody. And could all be avoided if the masses had a backbone.

we could muzzle a few hundred tree huggers and actually BUILD a MODERN REFINERY...something newer than 1970s technology might help.
the equivalent of watching B/W TV
Lincoln 1845 ft/.35 mile T1=118MPH
Eldora 2287 ft/.43mile T3=135MPH
Port 2716 ft/.51 mile T3=TBD
Grove 2792 ft/.53 mile T3=135MPH
Selinsgrove 2847 ft/.54 mile T1=136MPH

Yeah good luck. The prices have only slowed some things down. I still see people with jack-rabbit starts, 85mph on the Turnpike, etc. We Americans love our cars. That's the bottomline!! Slow down, change your vehicle etc. Stop the overall consumption. Gas outs do not work. Maybe if you a 2 months worth but a day or two, no effect!
