You must live in California. The problem is refining capacity, not a shortage of oil. Get rid of the EPA and regulations restricting businesses and things will change dramatically. The last thing we need, is to put this in our tax return. I have encough crap with 3 in college and cannot pay those bills.

What does the EPA and business restrictions/refineries have to do with the price of crude oil?
The point is that you wouldn't have to pay ANYTHING if you chose to do so. All you would have to do is adjust your witholding so that you have less taken out each month. If you use an average amount, you pay nothing. If you conserve, you actually get more money back than you put in. With 3 dependents in college, you could claim 5 if you were married, for a total of $4800 in tax credits. You probably wouldn't be buying nearly 50 gallons a week between the 5 of you, so you would end up SAVING money over the current situation. The idiot with the Hummer would be subsidising your childrens' educations because of their greed.
