No, I wouldn't support gas rationing. Unless they'd like to move my kids that are dying closer to me. I drive 3000 miles every six to eight weeks between work and pleasure. And believe me, the majority is NOT for pleasure. But when a kids needs me, I don't want to have to choose between going to see them and going to the grocery store because my rationed amount is almost up. The 50.5 cents per mile that the IRS has decided we get for work doesn't even come close any more to covering the expenses of driving. I need an oil change every six weeks, if I'm lucky. And I drive a car with around 30-34 mpg (yay, Vibe) because of the gas mileage it gets. I think that's more responsible than the coworkers driving their MDXs.
