How would that actually do anything to help the situation? It wouldn't, it would make it worse. The "situation" is a result of demand and that would increase the demand, nothing more.
I tend to agree with you--it wouldn;t "solve" any problem, but it might do SOMETHING.
I can only dream of the good old days (a month ago) when I was paying $2.19 a gallon
I remember about 20 months ago, when the avg price around me was $1.45 or so but this one gas station was selling it for an outrageous $1.79. I remember telling my friend that people are insane for paying $1.79 a gallon!!
