>>We shouldn't complain if we won't do something about it. And I include myself in that statement. As Tamar likes to say, if you don't vote, don't complain. My variation on that is if you don't do SOMETHING to fight gas gouging, don't complain. Let the oil producing nations continue to have their way with us.

Oh, really? Do you mean that OPEC has less influence on oil prices than Shell?
