Well, I think it's time to complain and get our politicians to deal, or we better use our heads and vote for someone else. I read in the PD that some gas stations in the Cleveland area have been given grant money to make ethanol available at their stations, one of which is a Sunoco in Parma. I have a flex-fuel vehicle, but I can't purchase ethanol anywhere in the area, which I think it ridiculous when you consider ethanol is manufactured as close by as Medina! I'm tired of all the lies we are told about price fluctuations. We need to bring the oil executives in front of Congress to testify under oath as to why the prices seem to jump at the drop of a hat. If they lie, convict them!

Well, when the president's cronies consist of oil guys, there's not much he's going to do to help bring prices down because this affects his profit margin. Not to mention his Saudi buddies--why wouldn't he attempt to talk them down from gouging our country unless he wasn't in it for the money. I think Congress seriously needs to take a stand on behalf of the people to keep the oil guys from raising prices at their every whim. Fortunately, the price at the Brookpark-Ridge Speedway came down to $2.74--. Perhaps it's time to picket in front of gas stations like the guys who picket in front of the new Rite Aid at Ridge & Pearl Roads. We all seemingly need gasoline in our cars, so one would think we could do something about it. Nevertheless, you have a point about the holiday weekend--I didn't think about that. I suppose we should just say "Happy Easter" and "Happy Passover" to our friends, the big oil tycoons!

gas is 2.85 uin Akron and $2.53 at BJ's in Canton. What a differance.

We better start doing something about cutting back, that's for sure. However, it's just not going to happen where I will take a bus from the western suburbs to the eastern suburbs. It would take me three hours, one way! Nevertheless, I'm tired of watching everyone else take home all the money while I don't get even a cost-of-living increase for two years! In that sense, I am selfish; but I've experienced too much BS to take it anymore.
