Gas prices going up....

There is no easy answer at all.

But there are little things we all can do....last month I decided that I would drive the speed limit all the time....I know, I know, I'm already supposed to do that to set an example, but I have always drove 7-8 mph over the limit on the highway.

Well I have been getting 2 mpg better since I started doing this.....if everyone did this, then it would make a big difference in demand.

Also, I can't help but notice that 90 percent of cars on the road during "rush" hour have ONE person in them, if just two people would share a ride, it would be a huge cut in demand.

The big things (hydrogen fuel cell cars, electric plug in cars, ethanol made from SUGAR instead of corn) will have to come from big corporations and big government. Did you know that Brazil imports little or no oil because they use the most efficient crop to make ethanol for their fuel needs, but the government here is in the pockets of big business here so we keep trying to use one of the least efficient crops, corn.

CTT, I know the feeling, I spend a lot more on groceries than I'd like to think about. All I can tell you is that if we keep doing nothing different, it aint gonna change any way but for the worse.

Uh... but its no better down here in the south so yous guys stay up there in the north, ok.
