Okay people wake up and smell the bull! Gas is not cheap, but oil for your car has not gone up as much as gas.

People in this country are pathetic.
You see a problem yet you continue to do nothing. Show some backbone. Ride a bike to work. Buy a four cylinder car. Shape up america.
Get a grip. Save the earth for your kids.... seriously.
