Actually it was brought up earlier. Also if you know of anywhere other than a gas station to buy gas let me know, till then I don't have a choice. Didn't the CEO's even admit it was the whole supply and demand B.S., in other words they'll charge what they'll charge and we'll live with it. Even Ray Charles can see it's gouging and he's blind and dead

i think i hear automakers calling for your endorsement

but i guess we should all be really thankful they havent started to water it down yet. we shouldnt have to worry though, because supposedly part of that 45 BILLION will go towards alternative fuel substances that there oil co's get there tax break on. funny to make such large contributions to a r/d for a product that will replace there own someday

I suppose I don't have to buy gas but the cost of Plutonium to run my flux capacitor is even more ridiculous, when and if I can find a Plutonium station..

Not when they own the intellectual property they develop! Money earned from selling fuel looks just like money earned from alternative technologies.
