We could repeal the $4 billion per year in Federal subsidies that are currently given to the big oil companies.

The two bills that are proposed here are--they are simply not the answer.

This proposal also includes an amendment previously offered by Mr. Latta on the House Floor.

Today's bills may win the prize for legislative false advertising. These bills will not reduce gasoline prices by a single penny.

The most effective thing we can do is use less oil.

The real answer to gas prices is to reduce our dependence on oil, which means transitioning to alternatives.

Millions of Americans are already enjoying savings at the pump with new model year 2012, vehicles.

The increase in U.S. production does not lower gas prices.

Cleaning up vehicles and fuels is a highly cost effective way to reduce air pollution and keep our children and families healthy.

Oil imports have fallen from 60 percent to 45 percent. Last year the U.S. became a net exporter of refined products for the first time since 1949.

They will pass that money onto consumers.

the goal if you want to make the economy more resilient to the inevitable rising prices driven by other countries and the inevitable price spikes driven by, you know, disasters or conflict in other countries, is to make this country less…

Let me be clear. Programs to protect public health and to provide American families with scientifically-credible information about the health of the air in their communities are not the cause of high gas prices.
