With oil trading at 117 per barrel, things will only get worse. Some experts believe the national average may get as high as $4.00 a gallon by the end of the summer.

The MOBIL gas station close to where I live, today's price: Unlead @ $3.59 per gallon.

PS. I am in Dallas, Texas where we produce our own oil.

In this thread I will like to ask our government:

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE SO FAR TO EASE THE OIL PRICE FOR AMERICAN PEOPLE?

SIMPLY NOTHING AT ALL.

Other countries in the world their governments are trying to take care their own people by FREEZING the gasoline price or starting to regular the price with government aid, and of course stop levying on gasoline is another way to ease the PAIN.

NO ONLY YOU HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING BUT ALSO YOU ADD INSULT TO INJURY TO THE SITUATION.

A VERY WEAK US DOLLAR, Despite all the national deficit and over-printed American Dollars, The 2% interest rate cut in February and March is a blow to our foreign currency investors. They all fled to other countries. On the other hand, this interest rate cut did not help the sub-loan company, the mortgager, the financial institute and bank; the only beneficiary is the Credit Card holder; ironically help the national personal debt to increase to its highest level which will not help our economy at all.

WHAT ARE OUR SOLUTIONS?

1. IMMEDIATELY STOP FEDERAL/STATE TAXES ON GASOLINE

2. REGULATE OUR DOMESTIC OIL PRICE; OTHER COUNTRIES BUY THEIR DOMESTIC OIL CHEAPER THAN IMPORT, WHY ARE WE PAYING THE SAME? This should bring down the price a little.

3. START REBUILD OUR STRONG CURRENCY

4. APPROVE THE ALASAKA OIL DRILLING
This News will definite affects world market price, and those greedy oil nations should think twice before they manipulate the oil price to the next level.

THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY TODAY.

I have a 5.8 gallon tank on my motorcycle. It cost me over 20 dollars to fill it this a.m.

First time I've ever gone over the 20 dollar barrier to fill a tank on a bike.

I agree it's a legitimate issue of concern.

If I could, I will risk my life to ride a motocycle.

I had tried to ride one long time ago, just couldn't get myself balanced.

The sad thing is a $10 bill can not even get 3 gallons anymore.

There is an inherent risk riding them. I don't ride in rainy weather. I take the car.

Many cars out there now, get mileage equivalent to a bigger displacement motorcycle.
