I believe I have found the best way to protest high gas prices. None of that silly "don't buy gas on the 15th" or some other such date.
ROAD WARRIOR!
We start welding scrap metal to our cars, wear leather, and start driving in circles around gas stations when gas hits $5/gal. I personally shall dress as Lord Humongous and will yell in a husky voice into a bullhorn.
I always kind of cringe whenever someone throws out the "lol public transportation" argument when someone complains about gas prices.
What about those who don't live in urban areas? What about Joe Blow who lives out in Kansas and has to fill up numerous farm vehicles? What about people who live in less populated areas who have no other choice but to drive to where they need to go?
No buses come near my house, and it would take about an hour and a half to get to my first job, and probably around 2 hours to get to my current consistent gig by bicycle. Walking would be awful.
But my motorcycle gets 45 mpg on average and I almost never have problems parking and it's just as fast as a car and I got it for $2,200. I may not be completely eco-friendly, but I'm a hell of a lot closer than those damn SUVs. Unless you have 5 kids all of whom need to get to an event that can only be reached by going through a muddy forest then you have no excuse for those things.

I can't wait till I see the day when you see a bunch of squatters all hosting a benefit show to raise money for enough gas to make a molotov
They coudl even have the poor starving children commercials.

what about the fact that inflating gas prices ends up making every product you buy cost more, as the cost of fuel is a major part of the shipping cost for distribution, and is quickly becoming a major contributing factor to general product cost inflation?

Or there's that, which I hadn't even stopped to think about before.

um no you got it wrong
I'm talkin a bunch of gutterpunk crusters all throwin some rock show in an abandoned warehouse somewhere and a chick at the door is taking dollar bills she is stuffing into a box so that they can scrape it all together and buy enough gas to firebomb a police station, but the chick ends up sneaking off and buying heroin with it and everyone is all damn

Yes, public transportation would be nice, if everyone had it. Personally I'd be happy if we just had sidewalks in more than 1/2 a square mile of town where all the tourists are.

Ah, my bad, I tend to think of things in the funniest possible context. Liek that old balding dude carying around a hobo instead of a little black or hispanic girl.
See guys, when I get my sailboat, I'll be living large after the collapse of civilization, all pirating up & down the West coast, not needing fuel to get around.
Also smart car with solar panels bolted on all over the place.

not by virtue of the public transportation itself, but rather because you have to be pretty backwoods not to have public transportation

gas is never going to cost more than the majority is willing to pay
so I guess you're fucked
P.S. if gas riots break out feel free to tell me I'm wrong
Gas is down to 3.209 today. Keep it up.
stop it shoes
I enjoy meat and I don't care about the suffering of others as a whole
I mean sure if I can help a dude I will
but I ain't looking to change the world
ok they are fine places
