http://csaa.kivera.com/csaa/gaspricefinder.jsp this link might be a good addition to your guide. It allows anyone to input a zip code, or street intersection to find the lowest price. It seems to be a AAA sponsored site. Love what you’ve done with the guide! It is definitely where people’s heads are at right now.

The Saudis have agreed to increase production by 1/2 million barrels of oil per day. They must be feeling generous. That should lower prices by what, maybe a few dollars per barrel? We waltzed right into this with our eyes open. By Bush’s own admission, we are addicted to oil, we’ve hit peak oil production, and the planet is straining under the pressure of trying to absorb all the extra CO2.

If you want real change in gas prices, look at this: http://www.americansolutions.com/actioncenter/p… Also, don’t forget that the Soviet Union encouraged the growth of independent economic growth for OPEC, as stated in General Sejna’s 1982 book “We Will Bury You” (p. 106). This increased independence paved the way for increased gas and oil prices.

The cost of crude oil is what is making the price go up. Punishing the oil companies will not fix the problem. In fact, it will cause additional problems, as ensued in the 1970’s when the government set price controls on gas, resulting in long lines and shortages. When you hear politicians criticizing gas oil companies, remember it’s an election year.

You’re absolutely right, Niko. Both of those ideas should take hold as the prices continue up into the stratosphere. The reason I like the idea of plug-in hybrids is that now the energy source is the power grid. If we can get to the point where most of our power is from clean, renewable sources such as wind, solar, tidal, and hydro-electric, then we can really start to impact CO2 emissions.

I wish I could afford a hybrid car on my wages. I can’t even afford a used one. Good thing I already have my “nice” 96 Nissan Sentra. I was shocked that it costs me over 40 dollars to fill up now though. I think it irrelevant that Europeans pay more at the pump. We live in the Western United States in much more rural and open communities. We have far less opportunities for public transportation.
