Blame the environmentalist for fighting the use of our vast US coal resources. I presume that they would prefer high gasoline prices. Fritz

You can make petroleum out of COAL for about $40 a barrel. Screw ethanol and making diesel out of soybeans! There's a LOT of coal out there - why are we being raped at the gas pump?!?! And while you probably cannot directly pin the world price of oil on Bush - he is the pinhead that destabilized global oil prices - domino style.

Prices will probably go down, as they'll expect Congress and a new president, both Democrat controlled, to look into things. Not that they'll do anything, but, they will look into it. My best guess is that they'll do away with the tax breaks and subsidies the gas companied have been receiving. I'm not crazy about Bush, but if I were he, I would declare a national emergency my last week in office and open up drilling in Alaska, just to show that we were serious about providing our own oil and being less dependent on other unstable countries. Congress just shot down doing this last week. Just my 1/50th of a dollar. Send a SASE for a refund.

If John McCain wins, will the prices go up? If Hillary wins, will the prices suddenly go up? Or will the go up immediately anyway no matter who wins?
