No it isnt; gas stations dont control the prices of the gas.

The Government only adds taxes to gas, they do not control it; OPEC controls the price of a gallon of oil.

Actually, it does work.  Here Costco has the lowest gas prices in town, and they make the most money off it.  It also causes people to buy more memberships to the warehouse, because you have to be a member to buy gas.

I think biggiofan18 meant that he would own an individual gas station and lower the price, which doesn't work.

Lies.

There is a gas station here in Texas...forgot where but I heard it on the radio...and the gas is $2.00. Although, I also heard that the line is backed up for half a mile.

The same in PA...there's a place that's $2 a gallon...

My parents just bought a Civic Hybrid, and it's nice at all heck. We officially get 49mpg, and it's way better than our van that was supposed to be getting 21 and was getting 14...lol

I'm tired about people complaining about gas prices.  Then again the news media has downplayed gas prices recently as they come down, but they're still high.

I'm also tired of Congress trying to get even with the oil companies they're probably sided and influenced by Wal-Mart.  My father has invested an amount of money in ExxonMobil for his retirement account and so has others.  People should invest more money than to sqander it on Sweet Sixteen parties or buy a new car every eighteen months. 

Here's an idea, ride a bike from place to place or make more phone calls than visiting.  It's called sound transportation and that's alot cheaper than driving.

You know, you could do that and make a statement about rising prices by riding a bike on the Interstate.  Then you'll get on all the news headlines.  It'll probably on the same level as the state that refused the barge full of trash.  As an effect, people began to recycle more.

Exxon would be the LAST group that I would invest with. Wasn't it proven that Exxon has Al-Queda ties and supports other terrorist groups?

It would also take two hours to get there or more by bike, if I survived the trip.  I think I'll keep driving.

I wish people would quit whining about gas prices and do something about it.

Nice.

I'm not old enough to drive anyway, so I ride my bike everywhere. But hey, only two more years until that *dolphin noise* Bush is out of here.
