Question

What is the best policy to reduce the impact of rising petro-product prices as a household?

Answer 1

I have cut down on the number of random trips in my vehicle.

To and from work is a must do.  If I can stop and get items from the store on the way home I do so ( this eliminates other trips ).

If I am going to go to a store, I go to as many as I need stuff from and cut down on other trips.

I am becoming more effective with my running to the store(s), and I have lowered my monthly expense on gasoline.

Answer 2

saving is the best.. if not must find alternative fuel that is more cheapest, easy, and not harmful to environment

Switch off lights when not in use. Replace old lamps by new energiy efficient lamps. Use air conditiners for shorter periods. Get used to a temeparature that helps reduce power consumption while heating or air cooling. Use gas more efficiently and for less duration to finish cooking meals. uSE SUNSHINE FOR  drying clothes.
