Want to Bring Gas Prices Down?

Get out of Iraq.

If gas prices are determined by supply and demand, and we no there is little we can do for supply -- the gross amount decreases every day. The difference would have to be made in demand.

While there are all sorts of ways to cut demand, one potential is in Iraq. The amount of fuel the military uses every day in Iraq (by the US military) is outrageous. OK. I admit I can't find the details online, but from a conversation I had with someone who would know, it seemed outrageous to me.

Of course how do you operate a military when fuel supply really becomes tight? I have no idea, but I hope someone is thinking about it.
