If you don't think we are paying enough feel free to move to europe. They have alot more bicycle trials there BTW. Why are you so much for high gas prices???
Because I don't like waste. They seem to accomplish the same thing we do in Europe without the dependence by forcing gas to be higher through taxes.
No one is for higher gas prices...but alot of people ARE for seeing reality and seeing an end to all the incessant bitching. Everyone is probably paying $8-$10 dollars more per fill-up...without any change of driving habits or planning car trips more wisely. I know thats the case for me...I'm paying about $40-$43 per fill-up instead of $32-$35 per fill-up. I'm getting a little lighter on the pedal...and I'll try to plan car trips a little better now.
But...at any rate...BFD!
Say I usually fill up twice a month...in a year, that would come out to +-$240 [(2 fill-ups per month * 12)* say $10 more per fill-up]. If I have 2 cars...+-$480. People waste more than double that amount per year on nonsensical BS. Plus, the raping we all get from Social Security and income taxes is much worse. So quit yer bitching.
