Personally, I really do not give a damn what they think. I believe that their awareness will go up as time goes on. This is why I was hoping gas would stay at $4.00. We already had the grocery increase due to it, and you know groceries will not go back down.

I cut off my engine a few blocks from the turnoff for work, but on weekends the gate is closed and I have to badge in. When I restarted at the gate after badging in the other day, the guard told me that my car had stalled. I just said, "Alrighty" and went on my way.

You wanted gas prices to stay UP?? just to teach some people about driving better?? are you insane?? If people want to drive poorly and spend more, it's their right in this free country!!! making people pay more to punish/change bad habits sounds very much like socialism and marxism. In America, we have the freedom and right to drive SUVs and sports cars and big trucks. We also have the right to hypermile. It's about choice and freedom.

And yes, if gas prices continue to drop, all other prices that are affected by the cost of oil will drop as well. Not right away, as price rises have lagged behind fuel rising. Most companies have eaten the extra cost as long as they could, driving down profits. As they start to recover, they will lower thier prices, too. Its called capitalism!! God bless America!

Gasoline prices have been too low. Taxpayers continue to subsidize oil companies, despite their record profits. The federal tax on gasoline is a fixed 18.4 cents per gallon (or a measly 4.6%, as measured against $3.97/gallon total.) That doesn't even cover the cost of the federal highways, much less pollution damage, war over oil, subsidies to the oil companies (Cheney's secret $15 billion "energy bill", anyone?), etc.
