Bush raised and lowered gas prices when ever he wanted to... why can't Obama do the same?

Since oil is an inelastic utility
No. It isn't. People are just too lazy to change their habits until the cost becomes greater.
Why would people pay more for something when they can get it for less elsewhere?
Where can you get gas for cheaper than you can get gas?

Uh I don't think it's me that has reading comprehension problems. I said you can control the amount of gas you use but people are just too lazy to do so at current prices. You responded with some random crap that had nothing to do with what I said and apparently actually agrees with me.

People do it all the time, for a variety of reasons, including laziness. I'd bet you 've done it too.

Yuki shows that's this is about a small group of people who wrongly believe they know better than everyone else
There is a small group of people who believe that prices influence behavior? Or there is only a small group of people who believe the price hurdle for oil that causes behavior responses is pretty high?
I guess we can argue about the size of that group of people...but actual real world events (price movements and the change in demand for oil) seem to indicate that Yuki does in fact know better than you.
There must be some topic where you try to tie your gut feelings to what is actually happening on the planet. This for example would be an easy one to check and conclude that Yuki is right.
