The biggest part of the price we pay at the pump is a Federal tax. Doing away with some of the Government branches mentioned earlier in this thread and then using that money to cut the gas tax in half would be a step in the right direction......lowering the price without using any extra. Opening up off shore drilling and allowing a few companies to drill on United States soil would also help.

world demand for oil is high and growing. it's good for the economy that we're a net exporter-- for a change we're not just consumers. this is money coming IN from abroad instead of going out!

"the biggest part of the price we pay at the pump is a federal tax"

you mean 18 cents a gallon? really? how much does gas cost in your area? cuz here it's a little over $3... actually lowest today is $3.18. so those 18 cents are about what, 6% of the total cost?
