Supply and demand does rule! The facts are that the rising gas prices have only got us thinking and not reacting. On any given day all across America you still see only one person per car, People racing for positions from stop lights as if qualifying for next weeks race, Disregarding speed limits and fast food drive-thrus backed up. We can make choices that lower our individual gasoline consumption, but it is going to take sacrifice! We have to dethrone ourselves from our chariots and commute with others via car pools or public transportation, allow others to pass us without feeling dishonored and the need for redemption!, drive under the posted speed limit not slightly over and get out of our vehichle and go into the establishment we choose to do our daily business with (Banking, Food, Pharmacy ...). All of these choices could be implemented immediately and would have a considerable impact on the supply and demand rule if we all participate. Now there will always be the business person or worker who thinks their schedule is too busy or complicated to car pool, the young person gunning their cars because they just don't get it, those who just can't break the speeding habit and those who legitimatly have difficulty getting in and out of their vehicle (Americans with Disabillities). We all need to do our part to set an example and be more understanding.

lowering gas prices, because we carry a full tank of gas in millions of cars.
My contention is that if we leave our 2 gallons of gas out of our tanks this week when filling up the tank, and 3 or more gallons next week or the next time you fill up,on continue to do so, the cride ships delivering the oil will back up ,and supply and demand will cut the cost of oil be supply and demand rules. I would think if we all join in and conserve a little also, we could watch prices go lower. Try it and see how it works spread the word to all you email friends, lets get 100,000,000 people not carry 5 gallons of gas in our tanks for 5 to 10 weeks, we don't suffer, the gas companies DO. If we could not buy a billion gallons of gas in 10 weeks, what do you think the price will do?????
