I just heard, on NPR, that "Congress" is greatly concerned about rising gas prices. What to do?
This amazes me. For the past several years, the highways and roads are clogged with people driving bloated SUVs with gas-guzzling engines. What does anyone expect? Such selfishness and idiocy makes me want to scream.

i'll scream with yah!
In the UK we are running at the equivalent of around $9 a gallon and still rising. Approx 70% of this is tax. Does this make us use less fuel? Hell, no. We just seem to swallow the prices whole and cut back on other things. Seems that the government will have to outlaw thirsty vehicles or we will see the consumption of fossil fuels (with all the implications) rise until everything is used up, or we are all boiled alive, or drowned or something. But they aren't going to do THAT now, are they? Too much money to be made still by the oil companies.
