Wait.  If we don't buy gas that day, won't we just buy twice as much the next day?

For me riding public transportation isnt an option neither is riding a bike. I live out in the country on top of a hill. I could get down the hill rather quickly, but getting back up would take 2-3 hours, then i have a 6 mile ride to town, and then i have to go across a bridge into another state, then 5 miles from that bridge to my job... that wouldnt work out because i would have to leave at like 4 AM to get there by 8. Plus there are no bus stations that go to my town because we are so small.

Smaller cars for places like here would work fine. Understand that some people absolutely have to have a car to get around whether they are old, or just out too far to walk ot ride. I plan on getting a street bike whenever i can afford one, that will help me alot on gas.

Why don't they just give everyone with a car a card they have to scan at the pumps. (hell, even put a barcode on insurance cards so EVERYONE has to have insurance to get gas.) Then, people scan thier cards and it tracks how much gas they have gotten over x amount of time and charges them exponentially. Making big gas guzzlers pay even more at the pumps and those with the enviroment in mind a break. They can go ahead and give farmers or people who rely on gas for work (truckers, etc) leaner standards.
This'll never leave the ground, but I can see it working in theory.

In my state, you dont pay for your gas, you lose your license even if it was an accident. So no, Im sorry I wont do that Idea. If everyone would get rid of their humer's, escalades, and big V-8 cars and start driving civic's, cavaliers, and neon's the gas price would go down ALOT. And I mean by about a dollar or more. I understand that some people do need big trucks to do their business, but for the guy that is single, lives at home, has nobody to ride with him and drives an escalade or H2 EVERYDAY that is rediculous.

there is almost no gas left in my whole town.  There are only a couple of stations that still have regular left, and they limit the amount of gas you can buy. Its up to about 3.20 a gallon from 2.20 last week situation is getting pretty bad.
