and what if we had to pay closer to the prices in Europe....$1.50+ per

but a one day boycott of your local stop-n-rob will in no way affect the
OPEC oil barrons. the low price of oil does hurt the US oil industry,
causing it to shut down more and more oil wells thereby increasing our
dependency and vulnerability to OPEC oil. I wouldn't like paying $2/gal
but if it helps keep us a little more independent in the long run, it'll
be worth it IMHO.
