Well yea I know the money from gas goes towards the fed. highway bank account, but that money is also being sucked out by other committees/groups and what not. Just finding out whohas their hands in that money pot is confusing.

Free Market FTW!

I actually wish they would jack the price of fuel up to $7 or $8 a gallon. This country is so far out of line with the rest of the world with the SUV and pointless driving that it almost needs a slap in the face.

Sure it would suck, and affect people, but sometimes that's the only way to make people change.

Actually people are changing. They're anticipating that fuel consumption this year will have been at it's lowest point since 1991.
