For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from The two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do!! Now, don't wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!\n\nI am sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers! . .\n\nIf those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!\n\nAgain, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. (If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do is send this to 10 people.... well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician. But I am... so trust me on this one.)

Have you checked the fuel prices lately?  I think people are looking for an alternative fuel source because of the rising prices of gas.  Not only that, this whole gas exploration thing creates such a power play in the world and even causes wars and embargoes.

HOW ABOUT A PERSONAL SOLUTION! I can offer some ideas that will help you save your own money on gas. This is done by a new fuel reformulator that was just released to the US public a few weeks ago after being tied up in govt. regulations for 10 years. You add a small amount of this formula to your gas tank every time that you buy gas. It increases your gas mileage by 7% to 19%. If you do the math, any mileage increase over 4% saves money in your pocket. It also makes older cars run better. The stuff has been tested by FOX News and NBC News affiliates. Check it out at http://www.saveongasoline.com/viabruce . Make sure you click on the MOVIES Tab to see the news reports. You can also get paid for sharing this news with others. Use the money that you make to buy a new hybrid car. Got more questions? boatclub@go.com Subject: = save gas

Of course the main issue is and always will be competition. But as a product standpoint it would have to be rising manufacturing, shipping, and product costs due to the increase in energy prices.  Oil is used in more than just vehicles; it's used in many products or the manufacturing of them.  We have already seen the increase of "Oil" not only in our fuels but in consumer price index that rose last week.  It's a trend that will not fall until alternative energy sources are more widely embraced by the market.

The theory is that if petrol is made more expensive we will use less of it.\n\nSupposedly it will be better for the planet and maybe even get us to walk places!\n\nThe last few years has seen the government freeze fuel duty rather than raise it in line with inflation - so it could be worse.\n\nAnd it will be worse as the developing countries continue to demand more oil and push the price up further.\n\nThen one one day it will run out altogether.

They'll just keep putting the prices up because they know that companies and individuals have no option but to pay.  It's what's heppened here in the UK where gas is now more than $7.50 a gallon and demand is still rising.\n\nThere won't be fuel rationing unless there's an actual shortage of fuel and that doesn't seem likely.\n\nI can only speak for the UK when I say that there has been fuel rationing - during the war and during the oil crisis of the early 1970's.

WRITE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE AND ASK WHY THEY WILL NOT RELEASE OUR OIL RESERVES???? THIS WOULD HELP BRING DOWN THE PRICE OF GAS!!! ALSO ASK WHY WE HAVE NOT BUILT ANY MORE REFINERIES IN DECADES!! THE OIL COMPANIES PURCHASED ONE A FEW YEARS BACK AND SHUT IT DOWN AND REFUSE TO OPEN IT AGAIN!!The soaring profits have already attracted the attention of many members of Congress. On Tuesday, House Speaker Dennis Hastert warned companies that any price gouging is "unacceptable, and any company who does it will be prosecuted." He urged the oil companies to explain to the American public what they are doing to bring down the cost of oil and natural gas. And he urged them to build new refineries and pipelines. THERE HAS BEEN NO NEW OIL REFINERIES BUILT IN THE USA SINCE 1976! WHY HUGE PROFITS AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHIGN ABOUT IT!!!

Pass a law preventing the Oil Companies from Raping us.\nDubya is in bed with them though, so it won't happen soon!

id say keep them money will come...  I'm in Louisville KY- by the end of this summer it will be almost $5 a gallon- its already $2.85+  don't loose it. we still have a untapped source in Alaska.  you know as well as i do that our politicians wont tap it until the rest of the world is dry.  then when they finally do it will be ridiculous. you will be rich.

Economists believe motorists will alter the way they drive once the average gas price moves to between $3.50 and $4.00 per gallon.\n\nThere won't be a mass revolt.  But people will continue to get upset.  Our elected officials will call for investigations.  And our leaders will be forced to seriously look at alternative fuels.\n\nIf our elected officials tamper with the price of oil and, the move to alternative fuels will slowed.  \n\nIf we truly want to embrace alternative fuels, then the market must lead us there.

It is ridiculous,  and I am scared about it.  The gas prices drive up the prices of all other products because, the products have to be driven to the stores in trucks run with gasoline.  So, not only do we end up paying more for gas, but for everything else as well.\nNow, I suppose for the upper and probably mid-level middle class this isn't that huge of a deal, but if you are mostly paycheck to paycheck, like my family, this can really hurt.\nOf course the rich get richer....that's just the way it goes.\nAnd what bugs me is that there isn't even a good reason for this gas spike...it is just speculation in the market driving up the price....\nWhere is our president when we need him?  He is NOT here for the majority of citizens in this country.  He has an agenda that goes against helping his own country, and that is pathetic.

obviously the gas price goes up and it could even become more than $5 per liter,,,, in this case the price of everything would go up, cloths, food, ..because of the high shipping costs, people in north America and Europ would have a hard time making a living.\nthe best solution is to move down to some rural area in California where getting food is not much problem. we could ride horses....... or instead we could make another form of fuel before going to war with Iran....however it bring us to the question of....why should US attack Iran if there is no more need for oil!....

Eventually, the demand for oil will continue to increase and the supply will continue the decrease.  The only practical solution is to move towards alternative fuel.

Regulating prices will do one thing- run oil refiners out of the US. Guess what that will do, raise prices further.\n\nWhen people conserve demand goes down lowering the price. Remember Adam Smith? He didn't drive an SUV either....

The bastards are messing with us!  They are simply raising the prices to fatten up their wallets.  Their profits have raised by 30% and they keep changing the reasons for prices going up.  We never get a straight answer.  First its "a pipe broke and needs to be repaired so oil has gone up", then its "everyones using too much gas in their suvs", then its "we're negotiating to lower prices", um, excuse me but doesnt Bush OWN a refinery?
