Nice in theory, but how do you discuss gas prices in a way that's anything beyond the kind of reporting you could better from sites like gasbuddy, without bringing some level of politics & ideology?

I mean, just some people whinging about how gas prices are such a burden, and me happening to mention that I drove the Insight for a month on $20 worth*... Well, that's politics & ideology right there :-)

*OK, complete honesty. April 4th, put in $20.47 with the fuel light on. May 4th, it came on again, and I put in another $20 at the cheapo cash-only station, $3.92/gal IIRC.
