meh. people will still pay it. even if you tax the oil companies, they'll just pass on the cost of doing business to the consumer. simple economics. the price elasticity for gasoline is very low since we all need it. if you make them pay a tax they'll just raise the price more & cause consumers to pay even more. we end up getting shafted in the long run. 
just find ways to drive less, I suppose.

Here's an excerpt from a May 2006 Wall Street Journal article on the Federal Trade Commission stating that gas "price gouging" does NOT exist. It's fr: my instructors website.

hmm, show on the discovery channel said it costs about $100 in new hoses and new filters, as well as retuning of the ECU, to convert most cars to be E85 compatible, and the E85 actually has a higher octane rating than 91. too bad the conversion is technically illegal because it modifies emission parts

10 cent between grades rule SUCKS- it should be $0.50 between grades...Hummers and SUVs need to be regulated, or penalized each month etc.
