I'm sure I'll get flamed for this but I think we as Americans have had it easy for a long time. The rest of the world has been paying double what we have for years. There is a very easy way to get gas prices to drop. Stop driving big SUV's and gas guzzling cars. If we all did, there would be such a glut of gas, the prices would drop like a rock (for the entire world economy)
When I drive down a California freeway and every other vehicle is an extended cab pickup or a Ford Expedition, I do not have pity for us. We chose to live this way and I won't blame the oil companies for making money. It's simply supply and demand and profit. Personally, I don't want to pay either, but $4-$5.00 a gallon would solve the problem. People would finally start driving economical cars, gas usage would drop, fuel inventories would go up and prices would fall. Take a trip to Europe, 90% drive small economical cars and lot's of motorcycles. Here, eonomical is a small SUV and a full dress Harley Davidson. The solution is ours, we just don't want to give up the luxury...........We never will until we are forced to........ |
