Reply #16: I don't know the answer but I know

that everyone suggesting public transportation is getting old and annoying. If it were available I would use it but I, like many people on D.U., live in the country. And NO moving and spending thousands of dollars to move to save a thousand a year on gas makes no sense whatsoever. Just the 6% commission to sell the house makes moving a ridiculous option for high gas prices (and that isn't taking other costs of moving into account.)

There is only ONE reason gas prices are so high and that is the greed of the oil companies. It's time to write some congresspeople and to the stupid networks who keep spouting the mantra that we aren't upset about high gas prices.

So, please before you say "use public transportation or move" realize that for many people those aren't viable and/or economically sound options.
