Imagine how much we'd be getting screwed if they didnt "grill" the oil
execs a few weeks ago?

3 cheers for our elected leaders!!!

You really want gas prices to come down? Forget about the couple of
pennies on the dollar that you might be able to wring out of the oil
companies. Increasing supply is about the only way to do it, and that
means opening up new areas to drilling, and looking for alternative
energy sources that are actually cost effective.

The price could drop 20-30% in a short time, not to mention drop FOOD
prices just as much, if ethanol (which pollutes MORE than the
alternatives) was taken out of gasoline.

Is that true? Why is that?
