My car gets 40 mpg. Used to get 30, but I drive a lot differently than most squanderers.

I don't floor it when approaching red lights to try to beat other cars and butt in. I often pass these fools at the next light and in many cases I hit the next light green while they hit it red. So by driving slower I get there before them.

I don't drive 85+ mph on the freeway.

I coast down a hill to a freeway interchange I know I can hit at 70mph and cost onto the next freeway at 70, I'm usually passed by idiots flooring it DOWNHILL then slamming on their brakes at the interchange and slowing to 40 mph. I coast to the end of freeway exits.

If anything we deserve to reap what we sow.

And as an aside... Gas is $6 unless you are a fool. That's 15% cheaper than your exaggeration. I'm positive that some stations charge more than $7 for fools. I just took a trip to Oregon, it was no problem to find the cheapest stations along the way because I'm not a fool.

I am against gas taxes which are regressive, personally in favor of luxury taxes. The idiots who drive 500 hp should pay a lot for wasting and polluting. I also think we should consider jailing some speeders and confiscating their cars and licenses.

A little education here to ignore:

When a barrel of crude hit ZERO it was because storage tanks were full. As little as a 1% decrease or increase is enough to fill or empty storage tanks. If all Americans OBEYED THE LAWS on the roads that one thing would cause gas prices to fall.

Essentially prices are high because of criminal behavior... mostly by the rich.
