YES GAS PRCES ARE HIGH BUT HEAR ME OUT

I thought the picture to the left was funny. But all kidding aside, gas prices are high and the oil companies are getting rich and so on.

But it still no matter how you cut it comes down to consumption. What am I talking about well its plain and simple cut down on our consumption of gas and the price may not fall but it will at least stabilize. We are a nation of glutens. No body wants to face that fact but we are. How many of you combine your trips? ie. do you stop at the store on the way home from work or do you drive home then go back out? And on the weekends do you make 10 or 15 trips to here and there or do you consolidate your travels? Also what are you using for your commuting vehicle. I drive 60 miles round trip to get to and from work everyday. I see it all the time ONE (1) person going up and down the highway in a Ford Expedition or something like that. Also my Favorite thing I some time stop at this store on the way to work in the morning to get coffee. What do I see there? 5 or 6 cars in the parking lot sitting there running while their owners are inside getting there morning coffee or what not. You think I'm kidding? check it yourself goto ANY convenience store early in the morning and you will find the same thing. I myself did my part over a year ago I traded the comfort of a big Cadillac that got 15 -20 MPG to a much smaller Honda that gets almost 40 MPG. By doing this with out even cutting back on my driving I cut my gas consumption in over half.

The oil companies won't keep jacking the price for something that isn't selling the situation we are in in this country is our fault we all had to have the big SUV's and the big gas drinking cars. And now we are crying cause we have to pay the price.

Just some food for thought for the day.
