3. Nope. The president has already taken most

(if not all) of the measures that are reasonably available to him. And no - there is probably not gong to be some kind of 'miracle relief' t the gas pump that arrives between now and next fall.

addendum: --- There are probably 'discussions' going on about 'going after' major oil companies - and delivery systems - with legal threats vis-a-vis price gouging, profiteering, etc. etc. But I think the idea that such measures would actually be taken by the administration - rather than just jawboned - are largely fanciful. And further - have not the slightest doubt that the courts would be signalling a fat thumbs down on any such efforts almost before they had a chance to reach the bench.
