if you stop buying gas one day for once a week, motnh or year. the goverment will just raise taxes so the price will go up to compensate for it.
lets not blame gas companies for this. the governmnet takes there huge amount of tax on this as well! its funny if you think about it. if the gas companies make a billion $$$$ the government is making how much lol!
the way i look at it is gas prices are a bargain compared to what they will be 10 years from now.
