QUOTE(Garold Shaffer @ May 14 2007, 03:18 PM)  Same thing on this poll.....right now 50% are willing to do nothing......I see this so often that people can't find it in them to do anything but complain. It effects most of us that enjoy driving but apathy in society is what rules right now. |

It effects most of us that enjoy driving but apathy in society is what rules right now. I don't see how not buying gas on one day is going to make a difference. You want to make a difference then either drive less, ride a bike, walk, or get a something that gets better gas milage. I have been really looking at the smart car and others along that line to use around town. Actually I'm not ready to do that just yet, but I did park my Ram quad cab that gets 19mpg on a good day with a tail wind. I bought a 88 944na which so far gets about 25 mpg overall, plus its a Porsche (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It is a matter of supply and demand. How many people turn 16 in the USA each day? That number, X, is X more than yesterday and X less than tomorrow, they all want to drive. So the demands go up. Sure I feel we are getting screwed, but I say make gas $5 a gallon and leave it there. Its the 20 cent increase this afternoon only to see a it down a 10 cents tomorrow then back up another 15cents that afternoon that drives me nuts. |
