Why does the government tell us that there is a gas shortage when there is actually plenty to go around. Why must the prices be $8.00 in England and $10.00 in Germany. All the government is doing is using the process of supply and demand. If everyone in the U.S.A would stop buying gas for a day or two or for a week the prices would come down because they are trying to make money and if we stop buying gas they stop making money.

That's true... besides, if you use less gas, you will helping the environment as well... You also won't be funding any terrorists or wars by riding your bike... It's a win/win situation to avoid using a lot of gas... And don't give in when they drop the price to a few cents either... make them beg you to take it for free...

First, that is not true. We don't know how much crude is available to an accurate degree. Second, the high price of gas will be required to justify the acquisition of much of the remaining oil, because it will cost more in equipment, time, and labor to recover it.
