Gas Prices
Let's see, a full tank of 20-25 gallons costs roughly 60-75 bucks hmm?
Well let's see:
We are all mostly nukes here and I assume many of us make a decent living. We may have some newbies here and some part timers and some struggling folks, but I am naively assuming we all are doing ok.
That being said lets talk about quitting the assignment of blame (Psst, it isn't the Iraq War or Shiva Bush at the center of the universe pulling handles, its quite possibly the demanding markets of India, China, and other near-no-longer-third-word countries keeping the cost high. How much does something cost? What ever someone is willing to pay for it, and right now the market can support 70ish buckaroos/gallon and let's not forget that America hasn't built a refinery since before I was peeing on my pacifier in protest) and figure out how to economize:
1. Figure a couple of nights out to Applebees, Hooters, or wherever cost the same.
2. Figure a few less pleasure trips
3. Figure more use of public transportation, biking, walking.
4. Figure activities such as hiking, biking, reading, and other non-petrol-heavy adventures
5. Figure NASCAR, INDY etc. being eco-responsible and cutting down the race schedule (HEAVENS NOOOOO!!!!)
6. Figure less CELEBS and POLITICIANS whoosing around in private planes.
7. Figure the little things that add up to alot.
Figure Figure Figure, but Conservation is the surest source of resources.
