Gasoline shortage

With the price of gasoline on the rise, the driving public of this country needs to begin conserving.

There are several ways to do this and I will discuss a few of them.

First and most obvious, is to do less driving. The price of gas is dependant on supply and demand. If we reduce the demand then the price will go down. There is several ways to cut down driving. Limit your driving to going to and from work. If you can, go to work in off peak hours of driving. Driving home from work you may want to wait a little bit until after the main rush hour. Find other routes to and from work that can avoid the freeways. If you have to do grocery -shopping you can do it on the way home from work, or limit that to once a week. Eat meals at home rather than going out for dinner. Use home delivery for food and other goods and services. Keep up the maintenance on your vehicle such as tires, oil changes and tune ups on a regular basis.

Other ways to reduce our dependence on Opec is to develop alternative fuel resources such as ethanol, bio-diesel, hydrogen, electric, and possible propane usage.

If we don’t do something soon we will wind up paying as much as $10.00 per gallon of gasoline. I don’t care how rich you are I don’t think you want that to happen. I can remember paying .20 cents a gallon for gas. Let’s get back to those days.
