<Steps up on soapbox -
RANT ON>
I don't like the price of fuel either, but I really get tired of the pixxing & moaning about it.
the gas companies want you to think it is all about what they pay for oil, have you checked out their "gross profits" on any of their home web pages, under investor relations? can we say RIP-OFF!!!
Might I suggest you buy their stock? (What a concept!):banghead:
Want the price of gasoline down? Here are 3 easy steps:
1) Strenghten the dollar versus foreign currencies - When was the last time you saw the Canadian dollar worth more than the US dollar?
2) Allow the construction of new refining facilities in the continental US.
3) remove the restrictions on drilling in CONUS and off shore as well as ANWAR.
It's easy to complain. It's a lot tougher to actually do something about it.
BTW, it's the same Green Weenies mandating non-lead hunting projectiles, protecting the mountain lions and disallowing firearms in our National Parks that have crippled US crude oil and refined products production.
Don't like it? DO something.
Get active, support NRA, write your congress critter, and above all - VOTE!!!
It can't hurt.
But please, quit the bitching.

There! Now I feel better....
