Well if the president came from your neck of the woods bluebird I'm sure your gas would be a little cheaper. Or if say um 85% of your population carried concealed weapons and there was a fear of immediate reprisal for high gas prices, you know armed uprising and all that....
"Fool me once...shame on you...Fool me twice....and we can't get fooled again" (uh, what?)

Pretty much the same here in the L.A. area.
It is still bs, the oil companies should be regulated some how. Making a fair profit is no problem it is the American way but screwing the entire nation not to mention the world is bs.
I would buy a nuke powered car in a second. Give a big f-you to the oil companies. That will never happen, alterative fuel, the oil companies would never allow it.
I could rant about this for days, but I will spare you all.

SoCal (San Diego) is 2.40-2.60 depeding on which side of the street you are on. Much better than the 2.95-3.15 of a couple of weeks ago, but still not cheap enough.

To exemplify this I read about something fascinating known as transesterification, which basically is a way of making a diesel fuel from kitchen grease. I had a science fair project due Senior Year of High School so I decided to perform the experiment and owning an expendable diesel engine, try the stuff out. To make a long story short, the wandering secondary judge who represented Shell Oil made a weak attempt to appear uninterested. I actually asked why this hasn't been done and was given a load of it regarding how it would cost more to produce than could be sold for (since the price of diesel was already at a swelterin $3.08 here - Feb 2005) and they would have no storage device. I kneew this a load of it and just shrugged him off. The truth of this stuff is, it has just a slightly smaller power rating than the crude based fuel (19,000 BTU to 21,000 BTU) but is completely clean during the refining process and its emissions consist mostly of the most beautiful reaction ever, H2O and CO2 + the unavoidable monoxides from incomplete combustion. Unfortunately, gasoline engines are out of luck from this type of fuel since it is nowhere near volatile enough to be run in a ags engine, but I have no doubt there are other possibiltites.
To sum this ranting up, yes, the Oil companies are controlling everything, as should be expected from a capitalist system. (Worse than that they are regressing back to the one company monopoly and will eventually rename themselves Standard Oil Company with a Rockefeller as CEO) And we can either just wait for the next, almost efficient, unreasonably priced fuel, or just stop burning it for..a day or two, and see what happens. But that is a rant I won't get into either. lol

I can't believe we all sound so happy about 2+ a gallon for gas. The oil companies are just loving it.

He does have a point...
But - after the last couple winters - and especially the summer of 2004 - I am 100% convinced that Global Warming is a load of manuer. Summer 04 SUCKED in Chicagoland... every single weekend was rainy or too cold for offshore boating. It was the coldest summer on record for Chicago in over 10 years. The winter was pretty biting too... even though there wasn't a lot of snow.
