Here is an example of a way that we can organize locally to lower gas Prices that I just received from my friend, Tina.
Hi John,
I found this site today and thought that you might be
interested in looking at it. It's community based and supported and it
has some nice features for travelers. The maps is particularly
interesting and the forum is a good place to share ideas about
alternative energy sources.

Gas
prices are out of control and expected to reach record levels in the
next few months. Motorists are suffering high gas prices while oil
companies are bringing in billions of dollars in profits. Action must
be taken.
Your friend, "Tina" is a member of
OaklandGasPrices.com - a website that is a grass-roots community effort
to fight back against high gas prices. Here's the idea - if you buy gas
at the cheapest stations, it forces higher priced stations to lower
their prices to compete and everyone benefits from lower gas prices.
OaklandGasPrices.com
depends on regular people, like you, to report prices to the website.
All prices are then displayed on the website, giving everyone an easy
way to find the cheapest gas stations in San Francisco. Many times, you
can find gas for 20-30 cents per gallon cheaper by driving a few extra
blocks...you just need to know where to go.
