Gas Prices

Gas prices keep going up but American's don't seem to be cutting back any. Ours is up to $3.19 a gallon here and we use Ethanol based gas which is cheaper than regular unleaded. For all the complaining, few American drivers have yet to reach the point of cutting back, even though they are paying $3 or more a gallon to fill up their vehicles. The demand for gas is only just starting to level off even as refinery outages and tight supplies have sent pump prices soaring by 43 percent since the end of January. What we need in this country is more refineries and the environmental kooks are putting a stop to that so I hope they are the first ones to walk where they need to go. It is wonderful to protect the environment but a little common sense has to enter into the situation too.
