Supply and demand are part of the picture, but there is more to economics than that. And there is more to how our government controls businesses than that. Oil prices are left up to OPEC. There is no real competitor. There ain't much we can do except like you said stop driving, but be realistic. Do you ride a bicycle everywhere?
I said a bike was one option. And if prices got high enough, then yeah, I'd probably start riding a bike for short trips. Rather than focus on one statement I made, how about actually reading the entire post? Change driving habits, motorcycle, bike, carpool, make your own damn bio-diesel. There are a huge number of things you can do to reduce your oil consumption if you really want to. Most people don't want the inconvenience of the responsibility. They'd rather [censored] about it endlessly and whine for the government to step in and regulate another industry.
