Prices have gone sky-high on everything else since gas hit $4 a gallon and despite the relief we may feel at the pump the cumulative effect of the summer's price gouge is still with us and gaining ground. Retailers this year are offering greater discounts in their holiday sales simply to make up the bottom line they lost when gas soared so high. So now the American people are lulled into a false sense of security while OPEC plans their next move.

Let's get this country off of gas. Until we do, we are all going to suffer at the whims and amusement of OPEC. And so will our wallets...
