Well - gas prices drove up ridership on public transportation - I'm one of them. And now that I've done it, I'm reluctant to go back even though the gas prives have dropped. I wonder what the long term effects to the oil companies might be for that? I know for myself, I'm filling up once a month instead of once a week. I can't be the only one.

The LA Times magazine on Sunday had a quick interview about auto usage and gas prices. They interviewed 5 people and when asked why the prices were so high, 4 out of the 5 people partially blamed the oil barron in the White House.

Not that a survey of of 5 means anything, but I wasn't expecting that answer.

4 out 5 drivers agree...... the president is to blame for hgih gas prices.
