Peak Oil and Mainstream media distraction
If you are wondering what to do about high gas prices, take a look at these links and find out what you will have to do in the next 5-10years. We're close to reaching Peak Oil folks and instead of working all day to pay for gas to get to work, we're gonna need to do some hippy-style shit.

61 Logical Consequences
· The market is now perceiving that OPEC has lost control. It is a devastating realisation because it means there is no supply-based ceiling on price. Accordingly, prices are set to soar. Don't forget that in to-day's money, oil price went to almost $100 in the 1970 shocks
· Demand must then fall. The poor countries of the world will bear most of the burden. But the United States will be in serious difficulties. There is, I think, a strong danger of some ill-considered military intervention to try to secure oil. A stock market crash seems inevitable, as some investment managers are now telling us.
· The global market may collapse because of high transport costs and global recession.
· Self-sufficiency will become a priority.

"Deal With Reality or Reality Will Deal With You"
You see ExxonMobil, BP and Texaco are not the problem and they probably are not price-gougin, most of the gas stations are'nt either, costs are going up all accross the board because everybody else on the planet wants to live like an American. Visiting foreign countries a lot helps to explain this point.
When we go an hunt for something, say for water we go an get the water that is easiest to catch...so it is cheap because we just drank from the river...then when that ran out we started to dig wells so the water cost a little more and whenever the well goes dry we dig a little deeper until we find some more water. The difference between water and oil is that oil does'nt fall from the sky and it is flammable. haha
Here are some pictures that help to clarify my point
