I have never been so angry about or paid so much for gasoline. My last fill-up: $4.57 per gallon. 66 bucks into my hybrid.

I'm sending my gasoline bill to my representatives in Washington and think you should too through a simple web form at ConsumerWatchdog.org

Taxpayers fill up the cars of Congressional representatives. If we want them to feel our pain, we need to tell them how much our gasoline costs.

Gasoline prices are hitting record highs every day ($4.075 nationally today, and $4.607 in California, per AAA) Oil company profits are out of sight, as you can tell from from Oil Watchdog's "Oil Profits Monster" graphs.

Yet Congress hasn't even acted to regulate out-of-control oil trading markets. Or to put oversight on refineries that restrict their gasoline and diesel production to keep the retail price high.

Please spread the word to your friends. Congress and the white house will only feel pain at the pump when we tell them about ours.
