I'm suprised gas prices aren't higher. No commodity is more essential to daily life, and you can't get gas just anywhere. Gas companies could get away with charging any price they want, and we'd have to pay it. Most people won't be too quick to pull out the bicycle, walk, carpool or take public transportation. Hey, maybe that's not such a bad idea. Raise gas prices so high that it encourages people to find alternate means of transportation, and thus cut down on pollution and traffic in one move. Some people might even get more exercise. Who's for a price hike?
