Quit worrying about gas, it's price will take care of itself. I read that the major oil companies profits last year would buy 4 tanks of fuel for every vehicle in the US. That not buying fuel on a particular day is bull, as it has no effect whatsoever. If you don't buy gas on wed, you are surely going to buy on some other day that week. But If everyone did something to keep from buying just 1 tank of fuel over the course of a year(bus, carpool, bike or walk, more fuel efficient vehicle), gas prices would plummet. You have probably seen this in the past weeks. Some of those summer trips that we take, are probably getting cancelled, and the laws of supply and demand are driving the gas price down as a result of the excess supply.
You want to worry about something, start worrying about food... Someone has convinced our lawmakers that it is a good idea to take food crops and make ethanol... They in turn are paying companies with your tax dollars to make this wastefull energy connversion/storage medium. These companies in turn take this money and buy up corn and such that usually goes to make food for us and the animals we consume, which drives up prices across the board. Since the wheels of government grind slowly, I think the food situation is going to get far worse before it gets better.
