26. nothing against truckers but:
1) Maybe this will inspire people to look seriously at rail! Trucks should be *only* short hauls rail is far more efficient and uses less fuel per pound. Other than ship there is no more effective way to move large amounts of freight.

2) This move would be more of a condemnation of trucking companies than fuel prices. frankly if their compensation has not went up with fuel cost thats who we should be pissed at..
