Time to quit of making people so rich with foreign oil and use solar, biofuels, electricity etc. We have had the technology for over 40 years but when their big money is at stake few politicians want to change.

Sorry you are all hurting from the gas prices. Just be glad you are not in the UK. We have to buy in litres. Doing a complex calculation it means that a gallon costs us £6.05 or $9.85! It is really hurting.
As a consequence our food prices are shooting up daily.

We hit are over $4.00 in Chicago! Its painful.. I had arleady limited my trips down to once a week and have a home office. Not sure how much lower I reduce my consumption.
I just feel bad for those who have to comute to work every day and it not like wages are going up.

It is ugly all over the world as far as I can tell. It is only cheap in countries where gas is subsidized by their government, like Iran. They pay about 25 cents a gallon there and if I recall they can not produce gas or something like that.
They say it is high now due to unrest in the Middle East. It has been in a state of unrest for 1000 of years, go figure.
Blessings to all...
