The only thing you can really do is make sure your car is running right and make sure your tires are inflated correctly, every little bit helps Hang in there and it will blow over like it did back in 2000!



Sorry to burst your bubble but this time, it will not blow over like in 2000. Given growing consumption of oil, insufficient refinery capacity, increasingly stringent EPA fuel blending regulations, and the war on terror (i.e., speculative overbidding on oil due to threat of disruptions), more expensive gas is going to be a permanent fixture in our lives from now on. We will likely see a certain amount of price drop after peak summer driving but don't expect too much of a rollback.
