Quote from southbeach4me:

Are you brain dead? The oil companies do NOT set the price of gasoline. The futures traders set the price based on supply and demand.

Amen!

If you as an individual want to do something, buy a Prius or Leaf, etc. There is not much our or any gummint can do about it. Oil is THE global commodity.

And, don't forget, the country with the highest auto sales is China.

Nissan Leaf is 100% electric and has zero emissions. About $2 get you 100 miles

can anyone provide actual reference to this kind of cost analysis?
$2 for a hundred miles seems to good to be true.

We drive at all times from our house to the gym/the mall to the work place and back to our house and so do millions of other cars. The environment gets polluted you get natural disaters like BP the ocean is full of oil and while we keep on driving very few people get rich and sit on top of the pyramid.

Not to mention the direct impact that our cars have on foreign policy, oil is a magnet for war especially if located in middle eastern countries.

I am sick and tired of supporting this system.

And yet, my Trek is way better for the environment and the pocketbook.
