What do you think about whats going?
How often do you have to fill up?
Should the government tax oil profits?
Should the government put a tax holiday on gas?
All key questions that will raise or lower what you pay at the pump.

Well some say it's a hoax by the government, and that we have plenty of oil, and others say oil is simply becoming a scare natural resource.
I think it may be a little of both, but more on the natural resource end. As it's not only gas that's having this problem, but also things we buy in the grocery store which are having similar effects (higher prices for milk/eggs/pasta, and reduced product contents).
I think the government should do both ideas you listed. However, I think it would be wise to invest in a Hybrid car.
Others would say we simply just need to stop driving so much and taking unnecessary drives, as we are the worlds largest oil consumer correct?
That's my 5 cents on that
