The fight against high gas prices has become a national struggle for the owners of most cars. With oil prices overcrowding $ 120 a barrel and gasoline at the pump seem to be more than $ 3.50 per gallon, as the battle is already lost. The problem is that has just begun! Experts estimate that gasoline prices at least $ 4.00 per gallon in late summer. What can we do?

Since the summer of 2000 articles on the Internet, distributed call for a boycott of Exxon and Mobile. Now a huge undertaking,The premise was not to think of gas from these great teams, they could create a demand for more low and buying the need to lower gas prices because of our efforts. Other ideas and call for us, not the gas on certain days of week to buy. high gas prices, there were eight years ago, but none of the tactics worked. The main reason for these plans do not work because they were defective from the outset.

Yet when the first idea. Ignoring or Exxon Mobile, weon the opposite side of the road, the BP service station, or perhaps a Shell gas station on the road. So while the boycott of Exxon-Mobile actually increased the demand for BP and Shell, and all that were with us today, the company. Many of us probably buy gasoline, the sale of the refineries of Exxon Mobil or refined, and was under a different name. work for some reason not easy. gasoline prices are higher than ever. The growing global demand for large countries like China, that our attempt to boycottat best minimal.

The second idea has not worked. With the purchase of gas for the Monday, not just double what we bought on Tuesday! The plan may sound good on the surface, but not eliminate, the high price of gas.

The fight against high gas prices can be rotated to the extreme, if we win this fight. For example, trade in our gas-guzzling SUV for a hybrid car that not so worried about high gasoline prices. We need to explore other forms of alternative fuels. I read that someStudents have the option of a car used oil from fast-food restaurants designed to run. They say it works well if you do not mind the smell of burnt chips! The Internet is loaded full of articles about how to run a car on water. If you corn the same type of person that this idea may be worth a visit. If ethanol is used for development, and their ideas are converting waste into fuel a.

These ideas may be extreme, but if you win, theyThe battle is little more than walking or cycling extreme. The fight against high gas prices could stay here if we do not act now to begin to defend ourselves.
