Generally I don't look at the price of gas, I need it, I buy it, bitching about the price won't affect it. I also get to hear how all of the candidates will help us out.
McCain wants to suspend the tax for the summer, neat but those taxes go to fixing the roads, and Michigan already donates more taxes to that then we get back, and our roads are showing it.
Clinton wants to let the businesses pay our share of the taxes, good idea, increase the cost to a business and they'll raise the price. Let's face it, Apple has a higher profit margin then Gas companies do, it's not their fault that the demand has increased exponentially in China and India.
Some Democrats want to divert from the Strategic oil reserve, but if we do that OPEC will reduce it's production, so prices will essentially stay the same, and we'll have less hoarded, also not a good idea. The gas price is what it is, and will likely stay or get worse, until we start finding alternate sources. If the prices continue to get high, E85 may start to look like more of a solution. However that will just increase the food crises. THE END IS NIGH . . .

I think we should really consider an alternative source that would be compatible with the engines we use. I was reading that there are some out there, but they are still testing the long term effects

The e85 ethanol is usable in many of the newer cars, and by newer, many of the American made cars from the 2000's, you'll have to look it up. The Japanese have been focusing on the Hybrid models instead.

I've got an 18 mile ride to work, I'm not certain a scooter would be the way to go for me.

Where do you live Bill? They said the price is going up to at least $1.40 per liter before summer hits here.
That scooter thing is sounding good! Of course I have my motorcycle license so I could get a small bike. Kawasaki being my favorite, dirt bike and make it road worthy.
