It's a pretty simple solution....
Just sell gas for $1 a barrel.

Although oil is sometimes shipped in 55 US gallon drums, the measurement of oil in barrels is based on the 42 US gallon wooden barrels of the 1870s; which is about 35 imperial gallons

It takes two gallons of crude oil to produce one gallon of gasoline.

I think if you sold that much oil for $1 you would cause unlimited unemployment.

...off shore drilling
...actually pursuing renewable energy sources (solar, wind, electric, etc)
...making hybrids more appealing
...nuclear
...ending the ridiculous speculation on oil prices (what's actually causing the hike in gas prices currently)

He is "selling" it for a dollar a barrel.. A barrel of crude is a little under 20 gallons of refined gas. You can get 1000 gallons of gas from him for $50

OP should post this on /b/.
