" You have to blame the politicians as a whole, not just the republicans. The gov't was investigating the oil companies record profits but that has seemed to die off. We can't drill for oil in other places because of politicians, we can't build new refineries because of politicians, the price of gas is high due (in part) to all of the taxes put in place by politicians. The worst part is no matter who gets elected President, that person is a politician who was also a member of Congress. Congress is just as much to blame as any President. Putting any member of Congress in the Presidency is just like electing a corrupt board member the CEO of a company. As I said before, part of the cause of all of this (economy, gas prices, etc) is the fault of Congress. Putting one of there own in charge will not change anything. "

" I'd suggest buying a locking gas cap. You'll start seeing drive offs at the pumps, and stealing it out of vehicles. The police better be prepared to step it up, when dishonest folks decide they are not paying the high prices. "

" As a middle class college graduate, I'm going to just throw this out there and say I'm thinking of turning to a life of crime to pay my bills and feed my family. And if a normal, rational person is coming up with this, I can only wonder what's going on in the minds of those who really have it tough.
Thanks Republicans, no, really, thanks for ruining our lives. Way to go. Hope you're happy. "

" I truly so not know what people are going to do. I really feel sorry for the older people and the ones that are on a fixed income. My husband and I are riding back and forth together and it will save us about 340.00 per month. Some people don't even make that much. I worry that people will start starving while others are out robbing others. The gas companies are robbing us all. Its a shame. "

" i love how peoples solution to this problem is DRIVING LESS. yeah, thatll really teach those oil execs making billions of dollars a year in profit. not. how about the government actually do something to these companies? they dont have to charge that much. they limit refinery ON PURPOSE. NONE Of the us refiners operate at 100%... more like 80$. want cheaper gas prices? DEMAND THEM. demand your government do something to stop CORPORATIONS from molesting the people of this country! if they dont want to do fair business, then they can get out! NATIONALISE OIL NOW! something like oil, that is the backbone of our economy, has no place in the hands of private owners with PROFIT on their minds before this country. "
