We already pay $3.39 - $3.69 depending on the season. big deal. Note i said it means nothing to me. To "Bush-Co" it means more raping of the American tax payer. you know, a needless war costing billions per month (and lives). And of course profit on top of that from oil gouging. Yes for Bush and gang it $4.00 just means icing on the cake. Too bad that icing and cake is being billed to all of us. dave (disabled veteran) crescent city, ca Jack- $4 a gallon for gas means nothing to me.

Ration it and tell the oil companies, to take an enema with it. Supply and demand. That will push it down... WAY Down, AND SAVE THE ENVIOUNMENT TOO Keep up the good work.

Then I couldn't afford healthcare for me, or my son. Then, I won't be able to keep up with my mortgage payments, credit card payments, normal housing costs, my child's needs, pet food, need I go on? Just let me borrow your gun and shoot me now! Try a domino effect, Jack...First, I couldn't afford to commute to my 2nd job. Then I couldn't afford healthcare for me, or my son.

It's bad enough with two gas stations on the same corner competing for customers with the constant changes in prices every few hours or so, even to the point where someone, as it happend here in Detroit gets shot for it...but for gas prices to go up this high? I swear something is going on that is not being told to us with crude oil being expensive as it is. I think we as a nation are being ripped off, and its sad that nothing seems to be done about it, nor does it seem like anyone care, no matter how much its discussed or touted in the news.

We are a retired couple with a dependent. In spite of a part time job, we now are running short of money before the beginning of the month. This was not true even in December of 2007. It's not just the gas but the sharp rise in food, etc. Jack, The oil prices have already had a negative effect on my family. We are a retired couple with a dependent.

I bought a plane ticket to go out of the country this summer. I'm leaving from an aiport that's 6 hours away from my home. Who would have thought the cost of gas to get there would be equal or greater than the cost of the plane ticket from my home city? Had I known the oil tycoons wanted to go on vacation this summer I would have made other plans!! Hey Jack,
