OT: Gas Prices, Screwed over and over and over Options

[N14]

Put 50 litres (13.2US Gal.) in last night and paid a tad over $65............somehow I think we're getting ripped off out here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Where's the best place to buy gas?????

Random thoughts on what I've read:
We used to hear a lot about an annual "bike or bus" to work day. It's no longer promoted here, maybe it is where you live. Any promotion to encourage conservation on a meaningful level needs national legislative sponsership.
I hear many complain about larger vehicles, but the new turbodiesels are really clean and efficient. Maybe look at incentivizing that combination.
National mass transit will never happen in our childrens lifetimes or longer, if ever. Due to costs and political wrangling you can just forget about it. One system that I personally like is the RUF system. Combining mass transit where the need is with personalized mobility where we want makes sense to me. But again, impossible without national political and economic leadership.
Fuel is a large component of oil usage, but let's not forget about things like plastics! Recycling is a free and easy way to conserve oil.

There is no charge today.
