Please. Opening ANWR to production and increased conservation will not reduce prices over the short term. Refineries are humming. We are awash in oil.

What do you want the POTUS to do? Place price caps on gasoline? It's amazing how many folks on this board claim to be conservative, but want the feds to control prices when a commodity gets expensive.

Average consumers have more power over the cost of gas than ANY politician. If folks lower consumption, demand falls. As demand falls, prices fall.

My guess that a lot of the whiners have no concept of finance at all.
