Silly, silly people. It's Economics 101, people. Supply and demand and all that. You can't all drive a Ford Gargantua towing your jet skis and your dirt bikes and expect that gas will stay cheap. Let me try to simple it down to the bottom line:

GAS IS EXPENSIVE BECAUSE YOU'RE BUYING TOO MUCH OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Wanna help the price of gas go down? Most of us work at home, but how many of us consolidate our "errands" into one day a week in an organized route to optimize gas usage? If you don't work at home, how many times a week do to you take something other than your car to work? On the weekends, how often do you stay local and ride your bike or walk to a restaurant or wherever you want to go out?

Most likely you're a typical American who loads up the Escalade to drive down to the corner store to buy some smokes. Who gasses up all their toys and the big car and drives more than an hour away every weekend. Who can't be bothered to figure out a carpool or how public transportation works because it's inconvenient.

You want to make a difference? Change starts at home. We drive our car 2x a week on average. My husband and I bought a house in a specific location so that he could use public transportation to get to work and save us gas, wear and tear and parking fees. The changes seem strange and difficult at first, but once it becomes a habit it's easy. Gas could be $10 a gallon and it wouldn't affect our day to day lives much. Would make it tougher to go on vacation, but day to day things wouldn't change.
