Have Drivers Finally Thrown in Their Keys? Mass Transit Sees Uptick in Ridership
Gas prices are now the highest they have ever been during the month of April and at its fourteenth highest nominal price according to data from the Energy Department going back to 1990. The average gas price is $3.79 per gallon of regular, according to the Energy Department's weekly figures released today, an increase of 11 cents from last week and 93 cents from a year ago.
As the average price of gasoline edges closer to $4 a gallon -- with at least one gas station in Orlando at $5.59 a gallon, according to GasBuddy.com -- have drivers finally reached the point when they will switch to smaller cars or forego driving altogether?

Exactly what Obamao wants.
3.89 tonight.
What Obama wants and what he ultimately gets, may come as a big surprise to him...
Exactly what the leftists earth first type pricks want. Who was that whore of a singer who says she uses one sheet of toilet paper to wipe her ugly butt in order to save the planet? These are the fools who applaud the downfall of America.
Just like all you good sheep found out when you cut back on water useage at home.
I have not seen any gas price reports on MSM it must still be a bargain.
20% want to and will be fooled. 30% do not care he is a black Rat. The margin of error could be the Muzzie vote.
No, there must be a Democrat in the WH and not a Republican in sight to blame.
Some are predicting $5 a gal gas by Memorial Day
How many cars can a group of people use tow straps on?
Get one husky truck up front with a diesel and ten commuter cars all tied together with tow straps. Would work great on Interstates or rural back roads.
Or better yet each car has a super magnet in the front and the rear, as long as the polarity is an accepted direction the cars just draw themselves together like an automotive centipede.

LOL. Sheryl Crow
Here in CA, sales taxes apply to gasoline. This is a windfall to the state.
Take a look at Hussein's reaction to high energy prices:

After watching this, try to imagine Bush saying this in July '08 and what the media and the left's reaction would be.
Of course people whose business requires using trucks don’t really have that option do they?
Politicians, news media people and leftists in general entertain what economists call a zero-elasticity view of the world. That's just fancy economic jargon for a view that government can impose a tax and people will behave after the tax just as they behaved before the tax, and the only change is more government revenue.

“LOL. Sheryl Crow”
Which is kind of ironic ... when you wipe your ass you think about Cheryl Crow ... something about memory by association ....
Got that right. Just a matter of time before people start really whining and blaming so-called Big Oil, and then the chant will begin: "Government has to do something..." That will be the cue to Obamao and his fellow RATS to go after the oil companies and demonize the Republicans as the party of Big Oil.
Oh, a few Republicans will say that we need to drill more which will earn the standard shut up and sit down reply: "That won't do anything. It will take at least 10 years if you start now before you see any oil." The RATS been saying that since Bildo Klintoon was soiling the Oval Office and the Republicans have been slinking away just as long. Of course, we could have had a lot of 10 year to fruition drilling sites over that almost 20 year span that would have us awash in oil now, but why bring up inconvenient facts about the Stupid Party?
