We really should be getting oil from our own damn country instead of letting foreigners take all our damn money from the pump (robbing our wallets).
Gas is WAY to expensive right now. I want to know what it cost the last time the market was at 8300. Shoot at least last year when they were WAY WAY WAY too high the market was like 12000.
Just looked it up.. for a minute in Oct 2002 the market was around 8300 and gas prices were around 1.50 though other than that it was >1998 when the market was this low, and gas prices were in 1998 1.03 per gallon.
Gas should be no more than 1.75 a gallon right now. Its basically stealing.

I respectfully disagree..you look at long term inflation charts and gas is the only commodity, or basically product of any kind that is still under the average inflation increase. It SHOULD be $4.00 or 5.00 a gallon and maybe that would be in all of our best interests. Kind of painful, but sure would make people walk more, idle less, use public transportation more and stop bitching about the cost of what is still the best bargain around.
