I don't know about all of you but I did not purchase any Fuel today but then again I guess because the Big guys are so smart by us not purchasing any fuel today they up the price by 10 cents, So did we do the right thing, Something to think about. This sucks.

I bought gas on Sunday and probably won't buy more until next Sunday. Gas is a fungible commodity. Even if everyone bought cars that got 100 MPG, I can guarantee you that our energy expenditures as a percentage of our economy would not change. If every car's getting 100 MPG, gas goes up to $10 a gallon. If we all buy electric cars, utility prices will pick up the slack.

Boycotting gas for a day does nothing

Boycotting gas for a day does nothing. Gas prices are a product of supply and demand. It is no conspiracy. Only if the demand goes down will prices drop. With the refinneries out in New Orleans still and a couple of others near Chicago down for needed maintenance the supply is a bit stiffled. Also with China trying to drink it all up.
It would help if the Democrats would let us drill for some fuel like in Answar (sp? ) but ohh noooo .

Stopped and put $20 in - of course, that is only 5-gallons here in SoCal...
