i don't go anywhere and i can't afford to put gas in my car. Â*it's insane. Â*i'm not saying to just start using only our reserves, that would be idiotic. Â*but if we subsidized our use with our own reserve, we could at least get their attention. Â*they'd see we weren't buying as much and they'd have to lower their price for us to go back to where we were buying.

they say demand is driving the price up. Â*other than day to day driving, has anyone been doing anything else? Â*i mean, vacationing in florida? Â*visiting relatives in colorado? Â*not with gas at the price it is now, i don't think. Â*the difference between $1.50 and $2.60 (national average) equals $400 +/- extra per year on a typical 15,000 mile usage. Â*i'd rather have the extra $400 than have to fork it over to the oil producing countries.

and the unique thing is, no one knows why the prices have increased so much. Â*that's my whole reason for asking the question. Â*nobody can answer it.
