The recent unexpected serious increase in the price of gas now puts most of us back where we were the last time gas was hovering around $3.00 a gallon. We will be facing tough decision as to what we can afford and not afford to buy. One solution for this problem is to car pool with coworkers, working out a driving schedule can save you both fuel and wear and tear on your vehicle.
The other advantage for carpooling is it decreases our use of fuel and sends a clear message to the greedy oil barons using world events to speculate the price of crude to historical highs. I have often heard talk of supposed "black outs " or days not to buy gas to send a clear message to the oil companies, this is a great idea how ever it is short lived as it is only one day here or there. When enough people car pool the demand for fuel will decrease and keep decreasing as long as people a diligent.
Enough is enough, It will now cost me over fifty dollars to fill my Mercury Sable, never mind what the Suv and Pick up truck owner(s) will be spending at the pump. I have mentioned in previous posts that keeping your vehicle tuned up can help with fuel consumption so please keep this in mind.
You can make a difference all any one needs to do is think ahead and act! Drive better,car pool do not make unnecessary trips etc. It does not look like the price is coming down any time soon so we need to stick together and make changes ourselves.
