My family shells out anywhere from 2-300.00 . . . . I know it’s the government that has put me in this situation.If you think 1 or 2 million extra barrels a day would fundamentally change the current price of oil, you clearly dont understand the market. The US pumps around 7 million barrels a day, but uses over 20 million.

On the other hand, it is simple math to understand that if the vehicles your family drove got twice the mileage, you would pay half as much at the pump.

How do you know the type of vehicles we drive? Unfortunately, being in the construction business, tools, ladders, materials etc, don’t fit in a Celica. As for me, I drive a 6 cyl. vehicle. I don’t live in a city, for me to do the things that I have to do I must drive.

Well, you clearly don't understand the market...it would fundamentally change the current price of oil.
