I got this from moveon.org. This is a petition that would stop oil companies from stealing consumer's money simply to make a ridiculously high profit. I definitely cannot afford to drive much under such circumstances, and I won't let the oil companies steal my money either. Hi, Can you face another summer where a day trip to the lake or the beach costs you an arm and a leg? It's shaping up to be just that if we don't ask Congress to stand up to Big Oil now. But theres a bill in the House this week that could make gas price gouging a federal crime, so we don't pay more while the oil companies rake in record profits. I signed a petition to urge my representative to pass this bill this week -- can you join me at the link below? http://pol.moveon.org/stoppricegouging/ Thanks!

Gas prices are so ridiculous... I ride my bike to work now because it's just way too expensive to try to drive anywhere unless I absolutely have too...

I am with you. Stop the insanity. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. In all my days I have yet to figure out why there need to be so much profit margin in these large companies. I do understand they have costs but when they are raking in billions off us I think there is something very wrong with the picture! I signed the petition!

I have no ideas about this but what I can say only, sharing using transportations may save petrol money. Do share and the more people you share the less money you spend.
