Gas Prices

This is a very important topic. I've only had my permit for almost a year and gas is damn near $5 a gallon! The price needs to lower and majorly. I can hardly get my parents to let me practice due to the price of gas. It really pisses me off. And I know that a lot of people are feeling the same way. Come on you governmental pricks! Some people have families to support and rely on their vehicle as transportation. How do you guys feel about gas prices and what do you think we can do to lower them?
