4 GAS-SAVING MYTHS

Using a special additive or cutting off your A/C won't really cut your gasoline consumption. But myths like these run rampant in the minds of American drivers.

Obviously, refining capacity has been a problem for a long, long time, and I think I've mentioned it before in this thread. Here is where it gets interesting: the oil bigwigs may not be building refineries in the U.S., but looks like U.S. money may be involved in refineries overseas.

So, since they can't build in the U.S. because of environment, tax, and legal issues, they're going overseas where they don't have to deal with those things! That's a real confidence builder in corporate maneuvering.

WHY GASOLINE PRICES ARE RISING WHILE OIL ISN'T

Last summer when oil traded at a record high near $79 a barrel, gas at the pump went for about $3.03 a gallon. Today, crude's about $65 a barrel and a gallon of regular unleaded costs $3.10

PRICE OF GASOLINE JUMPS TO $3.22 A GALLON, MATCHING THE MARCH 1981 INFLATION-ADJUSTED ALL-TIME HIGH PRICE FOR GASOLINE IN THE UNITED STATES.

Sorry little late getting on this one. In Southern Ontario we are at $1.10. per liter so $4.40 an American gallon.

Cost me 78 to 87 to fill my truck. I do not find this nice as we have be lucky in low petrol costs till now. I was pay 89 cents per liter in 1987! My wages then were minimal at $10 now I am around $30 so I see the price of gas cheaper then ever. Yes supplies are dwindling faster then originally predicted I remember hearing the price pinnacle will hit in 30 year ball park. I say Thank goodness! Perhaps city will put public transit in place and even some bus line for those in remote areas. Even more perhaps finally the big car companies will release technology they have been sitting on for 40 years. Vehicles should be consuming 300% less then what they do!

My true hope is the push on valid technologies such as solar and wind. Making a car that runs on water is easy easy enough but how would you feel paying $10.00 for a glass of water to drink as it was all being consumed by cars.

I grew up in a very rural area and driving is a must in those places. So yes the cost of commuting must stay in line. Canada like the States has vast distances between towns let alone a major Urban area.

Solution pump the oil keep prices at a level that does not reduce the stadard of living for the population and at the same time put valid technologies to work in our gas engines till greener solutions are made and get the oil barons out of the auto industries!

Here is classic example my Uncle has a news paper clipping from when this car was announced. I have no doubts on the claim though I have never actually looked up the patent on the item.

I was in public school my friends father was driving a chev Malibu that was getting 68 miles to the gallon. The carb was acting funny so his father fixed it as he could not afford a mechanic. Result was this amazing mileage. He called GM in Toronto to sell the idea to them and they responded by showing up that same week with a 250,000 check (in 1978). He sign a paper saying hew would not remake a carb like this and that GM had sole rights to it. Once signed they took a sledge hammer and demolished the carb on the driveway prior leaving. Yes our automakers are real interested in gas saving cars.

So ask yourself again what/who is driving the price?

Motorists pulled in to Harvey Pollack's gas station, honked and gave him a
thumbs-up -- because he wasn't selling any fuel.

Nice to see the stations protesting here I think they would be to scared, as the refineries own too many of them. Independents could.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!


I also would encourage all those out there get on public transit when possible or even start biking I have. Though my reasons lie more around the waist.

You know that is a good point. The people selling the gas are also the ones who own the gas pumping services centers. This must be all planned long ago that way hey could keep prices high without having to worry about sellers refusing to sell customers their product. Monopolists are real evils to mankind.
