I think it wouldn't matter if we had Pope Paul the 6th in charge, gas is simply going to command a certain price, just like milk, or eggs, or a suit. The people who are in that business know about supply and demand, and when they see the demand dropping, they pump a little less out of the ground.

Because of some temporary circumstances we all enjoyed a little break from the prices we had been seeing, but we all knew it wouldn't last. The rest of the world, with some exceptions, has been paying at least what we saw for a long time, and in most cases more. We just have to accept that gas will be whatever it is, and that we can't do a lot to control that price. The only thing we can do is use less, and we aren't real good about doing that. The minute gas went down everyone forgot about buying small, fuel efficient cars again and sales of SUV's and Trucks started happening again. We are our own worst enemy, and I am including myself in that group.
