Hi Kathy, I have to say that is CHEAP!Here in Australia we pay around $1.30 per litre (1 gallon [US, liquid] = 3.7854118 litres) and the government get their taxes as well! I hope it works Kathy , Goodluck. Leanne Busby http://www.aussie-money-tree.biz

enough it enough; the oil companies have no good reason to raise the prices that much in one day except greed; enough of this.

Hello Kathy and all. I am for it. But I wish the WORLD would also participate on that day as well. Further, I would suggest that everyone in the WORLD that must travel on that day....do it at the minimum LEGAL speeds allowable. Not only would we be saving gas, but we would be making a *statement* world-wide. AND, not only do it on that one day, but do it every 7-days later....until the WORLDS voice is heard. Folks tend to blame their governments for increases in gas prices. This could be farther from the truth. Being an economist by training, there are many factors involved here. And NO it's not the old Supply and Demand factor as the *driving* force....although that is a miniscule part. Being a world-market commodity....the driving force behind the more than one hundred percent in OIL prices in one year is: (drumroll please) COMMODITY TRADERS! Who's getting rich? Consider this. If a year and half ago, the Sheiks of Saudia Arabia, the Mad-Man of Venzuwela were making money at $30 ... they certainly are lining their coffers at $70 oil....and the COMMODITY TRADERS ... with their HUGE commissions on driving prices. Well.....my ramblings will stop now. Harold (The Marathon Man)
