Stop driving when you don't really need to. Leave the vehicle in the drive
instead of taking it for an unneeded drive. Conserving fuel will reduce the
cost of gas because if they don't sell it they will not make the profits they
want, so they will have to lower the price to get us back to driving.

That's great, what are you using to get around? If more people try even half
as much as you, the price will drop quickly. We as consumers must let the oil
companies know that we will not stand for the high prices. Price increases must
be related to the cost of crude and should also go down with the cost of crude
as well.

MY ass
people drive to goto work
kids goto schoolin buses
food and whosale move daily in the hundred of tons.
People have already cut back, You mearly have to look at the tourism revenue to
tell that.
I personally drive a crotch rocket to work and thats about all
Grass still have to be cut with gas operated lawnmowers
There is no shortage of fuel or refineries, ENRON did the same thing with
elecrtricty and said there was a shortage of elecric and even manipulated the
stock market to say so
No .Jgoins ,your wrong ,your just a SAP and dint learn the first time.
By the way the currnt administration was in charge at that time and those people
that were part of that energy plan are now in charge of energy at the white
house.

dude, i drove everywhere!
mainly just coast along with the engine off in neutral
and always turn that fucker off and put in park when at a light or just stuck
inna jam
also try to avoid driving at all in rush hour(i would show up to my class an
hour early and just chill at the school to avoid that bullshit)
don't use air conditioner, instead have the windows rolled down
also driving like this i've found that i don't get the road rage, cus i don't
speed so much and try to race others... and laugh at them when they get pissed
off stuck behind me going 35 in a 45 mph zone... usually they're in a bug hummer

dude, why do you just sit around on your ass and bitch about the current
admin
why not actually do something
remember, the problem with the way the world is, its root is not the current
admin or any for that matter, rather the root is capitalism and one way we can
defeat it is to watch how we consume, and reduce the fuck out of it! enough with
all of this childish name calling, you're behaving no better than the goverment,
and only serve to play right into the hands of the bourgeoisie
counter-revolutionary tactic to divide the people

Madmex you are wrong, tourism is still high and people are still wasting gas by
making trips they don't need to. I see it everywhere, the roads are packed
during non rush hours even in this small town, they can't all be going to work.
It does no good for you to blame others for the high prices unless it is the oil
companies you are blaming. Do you really believe the administration can just
force the oil companies to reduce the price of their product. We live in a free
enterprise system and if the government were to set prices then we would have a
dictatorship and I know you don't want that. Since we live in a consumer based
society we have more control over prices than you or anyone else wants to admit.
If we don't buy something it has a price reduction or it gets taken off the
market. Manufacturers can't afford to produce somethinng that does not sell.
We do not have to stop doing things which need fuel, we just need to make
certain we actually need to do it. If we go somewhere simply for the pleasure
of it then we don't need to do it. We don't have to do this long, we just have
to do it until the prices come down to where we like it. Then we can start back
and show the oil companies what the price is we like. It will work, the
stockholders want their dividends and when the companies don't make the prifit
they don't get their dividends so the stockholders complain and the companies do
something about it.
