Given the title and subject of this thread, this seems relavant.
Seems to me that oil supply is not and has not been a factor in gas prices. Speculation on the commodities market seems to drive it more, along with restricted refining capacity (which is driven by both big oil and the environmentalists).
The best thing we can do as consumers is reduce our demand. Our "octane footprint" (just made that up). Drive an econobox instead of an H2. Buy more stuff from the farmer's market and less from the Wal-mart. That sorta thing.
Not only will you reduce the pinch, but you'll eventually force a correction.
