Stop blaming people for our problems!

Look around you, what do you see? Waste.

When you are sitting in the drive thru at the bank, waiting for 15 minutes before your turn, what is your car doing? Idling.

When it is cold in the morning what do you do with your car? Idle it to make it warm.

When you just run in the store for a minute, the car is idle!

If we all made changes in our own personal lives, everyone of us, we would save millions of gallons of gas. It is unnecessary to idle cars and burn gas at 0MPG. It lessens the life of your car, increases emissions, and make a bigger demand for gas.

The bigger the demand, the higher the prices! Buy oil that you can change every 35,000 miles. Changing your oil every 3,000 uses unnecessary oil and also adds to the demand.

Electric at your home uses oil, or coal in many electric power plants for burning or transportation. Unplug all your electronic when you're not using them and you will save a tremendous amount of energy. Yes electronics use power when turned off, some use a lot of wasteful power.

Answer 7

it dipped below 99 cents a few times throughout the 90s.  It remained below 99 cents the longest in the late 90s.  This totally disproves the lie that a roaring economy causes high gas prices and a S****y economy causes low gas prices.

Because in 2002, we had a crappy economy and high gas prices.  And in 2008, we have a crappy economy and VERY  high gas prices.
