    Gee, I'm torn about this... great for those getting the oil payments in one way or another (yeah!), but I still end up paying out the same as everyone else at the gas pump (yikes!). I suppose the best we can hope for is a level of stability.

    I agree completely. My heart goes out to those who are living on the margin, and I think it's a lot more than we realize.

    I agree with one "talking head" who said that the price of gasoline is the one thing that hits almost all Americans on a daily basis. Even if they are not filling up that day, they are reminded every time they pass a gas station how expensive gasoline has become. It can be very, very demoralizing.

    I do not understand how Washington could let this play out year after year after year, since 1973. It's not as if there aren't solutions.
