What would you have the people do? Resign from their jobs and go on welfare so they no longer have to drive to work?

There's no one, simple solution to traffic congestion, unfortunately. Not everyone can carpool, or take public trans, or move closer to work, or work from home.

You've all been played by your Commander In Chief, IMHO. The war on terrorism should have been on Afghanistan, and there ain't no oil there!

Yah everyone stop working that will help everything out....

Lets see two oil people in the whitehouse and gasoline costs have doubled in 5 years...hmm wonder if there is a connection.

Back on topic. Octane booster's are garbage. Boosters will add deposits to the combustion chamber. BMW has spent millions on an efficient engine that requires 91 octane. It would be foolish to think that someone can cheat the performance of the engine. You could also get by on cheaper food too, but would you want to?

I know you would really love to believe that our invasion of Afghanistan had nothing to do with oil. We all want to believe that even our worst leaders do some good on occasion....

Eric5273, this topic was supposed to be about octane. Your being a socialist has nothing to do with gas ratings. As to your position on invasions, I see that you are from New York, sometime when you are driving around you might notice a large hole in Manhattan, do you think someone was drilling for oil?

No, I think someone was making sure they had public support for a pre-planned invasion of a 3rd world country. ;)
