The oil companies have had a hayday manipulating prices and public opinion.

I would like to see the price of pertrol go UP in the USA and maybe, just maybe, we'd see less pollution from THE biggest polluting country on the planet? 26% of the world's pollution from a USA population of just 301,139,947, bearing in mind the world population is 6,602,224,175 (aprox!), that makes the USA population 4.5%. SIGN KYOTO !!!??? I just calculated that petrol, we don’t use gas in the uk, works out at $13 dollars a gallon here.

No gas, and I'm getting much stronger legs. Taxes were over 2.5X their record profits. Shame on govenrment. Exxon continues to be a less expensive alternative in my area. I'm glad they're more efficient. Stop complaining – I started riding a bike to work 9 miles from home. No gas, and I’m getting much stronger legs.

I like the idea of taxing profits (that way they can't pass it on to the consumer) and using those taxes to help fund alternative energy. Of course, that would only happen if we got an environmental president and congress.... will that happen? Not this year I'm afraid. Agreed.
