Start buying gas from the little boys, like Marathon. They dont import oil. Shell and other big boys get it from the Iraq area. If we start buying from Marathon and such, then Shell will have to lower their prices. Plus, id rather buy American oil than Middle East oil.

There are many reasons why gas has sky rocketed in price, generally the large companies are not actually the ones to blame, they infact do not make much of a profit on each gallon of gasoline they sell. If you californians want to blame someone blame the hippie tree huggers that made it state law to have that special blend of gasoline that you require so few refineries are able to produce it that it makes your gas extremely expensive. Another thing that most people dont realize is that China is playing a large role in this, inadvertantly. They are growing at a phenomenol rate and as they grow they require more and more crude oil, thus opec has been supplying them with more and us with less to even it out, remember they do have over 1 billion people. I think higher gas prices are just something we are going to have to live with.
