Is there a short-term fix for high gas prices?

Go for it! I've had one over a Year now,and adding up what I'd have paid in taxi fares to work and shopping,I've saved the price of it back already,and then some! (and that's only in dry weather here in Ireland!) I used the bike to commute in the good weather we had here all thru May-I'd filled the car on what would have been my regular 2 weekly fill at the end of April..I didn't fill the car again throughout May,and only went for a fill on Monday (now into June!) I was looking on the Walmart site-they have a couple of models around the $300 mark..lookin good!

Motorists via fuel and other taxes are one of the Government's most important cash Cows..they're going out of their way to turn off smokers with te public area bans,so that's one area they're going to be losing revenue from...I've only ever seen fuel duty go up in a Budget,never Down! I won't be holding my breath waiting for them to give us a tax break here...
