HOW ABOUT THIS:
The fuel situation is a supply / demand thing. One of the better ways to effect change is to impact on the only part of the equation that we as drivers can. How about a national coordinated effort to boycott buying fuel for one weeks time? I understand that this may not be practical in every application, but can you imagine the GLUT OF OIL they would have if this was done. Screw the oil company. They are making record profit and taking advantage of the situation in the Middle East to justify it. The "National Boycott Fuel Week" would take some effort, but I bet it would get their attention
