We need to tell OPEC that we aren"t stupid because there is ALOT of supply and that even changes in weather shouldn't affect gas prices. If there was shortages, wouldn't we all pay the same at the station? It seems that it goes by demographic. The poorer a city, the cheaper the fuel.
We need to let our political leaders know that fuel prices are a big concern and it will be a deciding vote in every election. Thats probably the only way for the public to win?
If we go electric, you guessed it, elctricity rates will go up next! We need to take control.

I would agree, however there is a factor that you haven't taken into consideration. There is NO interest from the gov't side of things to regulate gas prices lower. Lower gas prices mean the gov't collects less tax revenue.
