[quote:28f2c]If you're upset about ExxonMobil and it's peers making a killing then do something about it.

Like finding ways to reduce your own personal dependency on oil based energy.

You all sound like crack addicts b!tching that the local crack house has raised rock prices.

Either pay up or reduce/eliminate your addiction.

The idea of "windfall profits tax" to "alleviate" the problem stinks of manipualtive and greedy government.

If you think prices are high now, consider the fact that it's still cheaper than Coca-Cola or bottled water.

Which can YOU live without?

And which will you have no choice but to purchase unless you consider making lifestyle changes?[/quote:28f2c]

I've been cutting back on my driving as well..Like this man said if you are concerned about the price of gas either do something about it or cut back.
