Would especially love to see those who lead the way in raising prices targeted. I don't know about elsewhere but here there is one company who always is first to raise the price and the others soon follow.

An idea I've been thinking about recently, and I know it's nothing new, but if we could all do everything we can to cut back on consumption. Combine reasons for trips, car pool when possible, stuff like that. I think things were going this way back when gas went to over $4 a gallon (2008, I think) but I suspect it was somewhat abandoned when prices dropped.

Was just thinking if we could put serious dent in demand it would help our situation.

Just my .0125
