I suppose we could alway institute price controls. But that didn't work out so well during the Carter administration. There were some pretty outrageous gas lines, (if the station hadn't already run out of gas). I remember hearing that Americans used something like 150,000 barrels of oil per day just idling their cars while waiting in line.

If you want the price of gas to drop, I would recommend doing one or more of the following:

1) Use less. For example, if everyone simply drove the speed limit, the price of gas would plummet dramatically.

2) Lobby your representatives to lift environmentalist restrictions on drilling. (Stuff like ANWR should be a no-brainer.)

3) Lobby your representatives to reduce the tax on gasoline. The government takes more money in taxes out of a gallon of gas than the oil companies take in profits.
