We recently asked readers of PMR's eNewsletter, Insights, to gauge their rage over rising gasoline prices.  Here are the results of our informal poll:

Here's what some of you said:

• I'm selling my car!  That is if anyone will buy the gas sucking hog!!
• I think it is terrible how the gas companies don't take some responsibility for the rising gas prices since they are making a larger profit than they were before.
• A major concern and factor in our overall economy.
• At this point, we're stuck with high gas prices for the foreseeable future.  And because of rising fuel prices, other commodities, services and products will increase to cover those costs.  We need a comprehensive energy policy for our nation that moves us away from petroleum and embraces solar, nuclear power and electricity.
• It's a travesty.
• It is fabricated deceit intended to break down America the way they broke down Russia.  The Arabs are much smarter than we think.
• It's a good thing.  It will make solar power and diesel engines with biodiesel more widespread.
• Our problem is the result of our total failure to enhance mass transportation options nationally. 

Thanks to all who participated!

Miami has done it again.  For the third year in a row, the city has topped the list of least courteous drivers in the U.S.  AutoVantage, a leading national auto club, commissioned the survey in which PMR interviewed 2500 by telephone in 25 major metropolitan areas, revealing driving behaviors and attitudes of commuters.  Miami is followed by Boston, New York City, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. to round out the top five cities with the least courteous drivers.  Pittsburgh, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis and Cleveland are the top five cities with the most courteous drivers.
