It won't work. The only real solution is to reduce overall consumption. If ever American took one trip to the store and bought a couple of weeks of supplies and then cut out all unnecessary driving for a couple of weeks, prices would come down. Unfortunately, as soon as driving built back up, the price of gasoline would also climb back up.
There could be one more solution, we the people could demand of our elected officials that the oil industry mergers of the last ten years be undone. The Feds have allowed oil industry mergers in the last decade or so, that effectively eleminate competition at the pump level. Exxon and Mobile merged. Conoco and Phillips merged. Etc.
The Feds need to emulate the Feds of 1911, when the Supreme court ordered the breakup of the Standard Trust owned by non other than John Rockefeller. The Standard Trust was broken into 34 companies. Eighty eight years later, the Trust was reunited when Exxon( Standard Oil of New Jersey) and Mobile (Standard Oil of New York) merged into the worlds largest oil company.
Big oil is a monopoly that exists with the quite acceptance of the US government.
The Dems are bad (witness the date of the Exxon/Mobil merger). The Repubs are bad (witness the current lack of action against the monopoly). Vote Third Party.
