What do y’all think of this as a way to lower gas prices?
Dfwteddybear asked:
I think its time to take gas prices out of the speculative markets and make it managed through government control. Even though I **** government control! We need this because with our current dependence on oil, its become as necessary as a utility, just like electricity. Also, we need much more funding on alternative fuel research, subsidies so lower income folk can buy cars like the Prius.

How high do gas prices need to get before people do something?
The Big Aristotle asked:
I realize that we have our hands tied somewhat, since most people need gas in order to drive to work, store, etc, but there must be SOMETHING people can do to put pressure on the states to cap oil prices. By continuing to buy at these hiked prices, we’re sending the message that we’re ok with paying these prices…..but we’re not! What do you suppose should be done? I was thinking we could start riots at all our local gas stations…but i dont know if that would work

What are you views on the high gas prices?
Michael B asked:
Do you think all of the people who whine about them should take the bus instead of whining and still filling their car up? Gas prices are as a matter of fact based on the supply-and-demand laws.
Ok let me add a second question, if gas suddenly became $10 a gallon. Would you still fill up your tank? If you couldn’t afford it what would you do?

How do they know when to change the gas prices?
david m asked:
Gas prices change quite frequently, as ive noticed. I remember a particular gas station that changed its prices over 6 times in one day. How do they know when to change the prices? Who contacts them? Do they already have the information available? Where do they get it? Are they aloud to disclose it?

Is there any hope in gas prices going down?
workstoomuch asked:
I’ve been planning on going to Alaska (coming from central California) in mid-late may. Now that the gas prices are going up, it looks like my roadtrip dreams have been shattered. None of my friends can go with me to split the costs. Will the prices go down any time in the summer? Anyone need a ride up the north west?
