I saw gas go from $3.29 to $4.29 IN ONE WEEK.

I looked at the prices today (took the day off to catch up on shopping) and WTF, it is now $4.59!! I read that at this rate, we will all be paying over $10 a gallon in July. What is being done about this? Old White Man Joe is "cutting deals" with Iran for oil instead of opening up our own damn pipelines and supplying us cheaper than anywhere else. I am getting pissed over this cause I feel like a bigger percentage of my paycheck is going toward filing up my damn car each week.

I just spent $100 on a full tank. WTF.
This morning I was going through google after my jog and found that there are shops that charge a fee the convert from gas to waterpower, I figured I could by an older model car from ClassicCars.com later on this year or next and test theory out myself.

    "You can expect to increase your gas mileage by 25-100% using this hydrogen hybrid method for your car. Results will vary depending on the size of your engine and a few other factors.

    Water by itself is not a fuel and cannot be combusted to drive a car. However the hydrogen contained within the water is not readily combustible. In order to get water to become combustible hydrogen you will need to have a converter to break it down into its simple elements of HHO. This is simple water element is also known as Browns Gas Once this is converted you'll transfer this gas into the fuel intake and supplement it with regular gasoline fuel. This will create a powerful combustible cocktail which will lead to greater efficiency in your car and increase your mileage."

    Something needs to be done. I was just at the gas station earlier today and there were people who were having a fit there. The price keeps going up and I read there is likely no return to being below $4 for MONTHS. There are talks of things getting up to $300 a barrel. Just imagine that. Right now I think it is around $120. We will be paying damn near $10 A GALLON.

    You must drive an SUV. Our gas is around $4.50 in DC but it's increasing every day. I'm glad I telework.
    I drive a Mustang.

    Opening up our own pipelines will do nothing to reduce prices. The oil companies are price-gouging the people.

    A few years ago, it was exposed that thousands of barrels of oil were being hoarded by ships off-shore. I wouldn't be surprised to find out it's still the case.
