Gas is about $2.10 in the Cleveland area and that's still too much. The cap on gas should be about $1.25 - $1.50. Enough to still feel it, especially in large vehicles, so you'd want to conserve and curtail unneccessary driving yet, not so much to severely penalize those with lower incomes or those that have no choice but to drive.

I've no credible suggestions on how to make this happen but, it's my .02.

You are a god damned idiot, you know that? You ought to be smacked upside your dumb-fuck head, even after all these years. Shame on you!

Gas Station Who Gave Discounts to Elderly Ordered to Raise Prices

    A service station that offered discounted gas to senior citizens and people supporting youth sports has been ordered by the state to raise its prices.

    Center City BP owner Raj Bhandari has been offering senior citizens a 2 cent per gallon price break and discount cards that let sports boosters pay 3 cents less per gallon. But the state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection says those deals violate Wisconsin's Unfair Sales Act, which requires stations to sell gas for about 9.2 percent more than the wholesale price.

    Bhandari said he received a letter from the state auditor last month saying the state would sue him if he did not raise his prices. The state could penalize him for each discounted gallon he sold, with the fine determined by a judge.
