US Gasoline Prices

[quattro toronto]

Talk about logic bomb!
I think not buying from Mobil/Exxon and reducing the need to buy gas by 
carpooling produces the same result.  HEHE.

If we reduce the amount of gas we would need by carpooling, then we would 
reduce to need to buy gas.    Same thing as NOT BUYING (from Exxon/Mobil) 
but this time every gas company is affected.  So they raise their 
prices/lower their gas prices..depending on how you analyze it
