Quit worrying about gas, it's price will take care of itself. I read that the major oil companies profits last year would buy 4 tanks of fuel for every vehicle in the US. That not buying fuel on a particular day is bull, as it has no effect whatsoever. If you don't buy gas on wed, you are surely going to buy on some other day that week. But If everyone did something to keep from buying just 1 tank of fuel over the course of a year(bus, carpool, bike or walk, more fuel efficient vehicle), gas prices would plummet. You have probably seen this in the past weeks. Some of those summer trips that we take, are probably getting cancelled, and the laws of supply and demand are driving the gas price down as a result of the excess supply.

You want to worry about something, start worrying about food... Someone has convinced our lawmakers that it is a good idea to take food crops and make ethanol... They in turn are paying companies with your tax dollars to make this wastefull energy connversion/storage medium. These companies in turn take this money and buy up corn and such that usually goes to make food for us and the animals we consume, which drives up prices across the board. Since the wheels of government grind slowly, I think the food situation is going to get far worse before it gets better.

I'm not celebrating yet, but 6 days ago, I paid $3.519 a gallon and yesterday was the first time I've seen gas under $3.50 a gallon in over 2 months. May 11th was the last time I bought gas for less than $3.50.

Let us all hope people do not go back to the attitude they had when gas was really cheap. We need to move to some form of alternative energy and should have started years ago. RonMar is dead on in his post.

We bought gas two weeks ago for $3.13 a gallon.







Our grocery store gives you pennies off on each purchase and they accumulate on their super saver card. We had about 75 cents a gallon off. :)

Wrong. It was just a lot of SUPPLY AND DEMAND!!!!!!!!! Plus, the official black helicopter mantra is it was the speculators.

It DID start years ago. Where do you think the energy tax credits came from on the 1040 form?

Conservation and alternative energy are fine, but nothing, nothing, will come close to replacing oil in our lifetimes that's why we need to find more of it in the US.

If you think gasoline prices are high. Just wait till this winter ( for those that use nat. gas) Get ready for higher prices. Around here the power co. has asked for an increase in rates because of the increase in nat. gas prices
