Can the government reduce gas prices?

We saw a headline on our way out the door this morning, "Will the next president lower gas prices?"

What are people thinking? The only way for the government to truly lower gas prices is by reducing or even removing the taxes we pay per gallon. Other than that gas is an industry, it is not up to the government to raise or lower prices.

But how can you reduce your gas cost? Invest in oil companies. Stop driving so much and take public transportation. If you are looking to lose weight or get in shape - now is the time. Spring is here and good weather is on its way. Learn to walk or ride a bike. Consolidate trips. Buy in bulk. Plan ahead.
