Do you think it is possible to manage your gasoline budget?

Question

Would you pay an insurance premium for a gas price cap and if the price went above the cap and you got money back would that be something worthwhile?

Answer 1

That is a GREAT idea. You should run for office =)

Answer 2

carpool, make sure your tires are properly inflated, and drive slow

Answer 3

Me personally, no, I wouldn't enter a price contract.  They did something similar with home heating oil in the Northeast and people got burned.  The winter was milder than the preivous and folks WAY overpaid for the price contract.  The fuel company pocketed the difference and said they'd taken a chance as well that the cost would have gone up, which is a crock.  

I'll take my chances on the open market.

Answer 4

yea

best times to fill up the gas is at night , they raise the price when it's busy so peoples just want ga and go and also the humidity is low at night

keeping air in the tire i usually go 40 in the summer and 45 in the winter it's bit high and also don't brake and accelerate too much just flow. and the best way u can save gas is when there is a hill build up speed by going down hill to make it on the hill  without pusshing the gas in the middle of the hill

put less weight in the car any extra items

change the gas cap make sure it's tight.

don't belive in higher gas octane .

drive highway if it's the save distance as city

thin oil make better gas milleage.

good tune up.

don't open the window it would make more drag it's better with the ac instead of windows.

turn off the ac before ur get to ur destinaton.( i see lots of peoples when they get to their car when it's park in hot sunny day , would just turn on the ac as soon as possibble)"that's wrong" roll down all  the windows for the hot air to escape then turn the ac on .

Answer 5

It would depend on the exact numbers involved.  Of course, if it saves money for the public, then it would cost the companies money, and therefore it isn't going to happen in the long run.  Southwest Airlines did this type of thing for a number of years, enabling them to have lower ticket prices than other airlines.  But now the deals are running out and they have to pay normal prices.

Answer 6

I think that idea is bad because it would result in people not reducing their use of petrol when the prices rise (since they don't get to feel the price rise).

Then you get a shortage and long lines at petrol stations and no stations in town having any to sell, not a good thing to have happening.
