We all know about the gas price situation in the US.
Things have taken a turn for the worse since about May 2008.
It all happened really fast and seemed to spiral out of control.
What everyone doesn't know or understand is why the prices have gotten so high.
It seems that not only our consumption and dependency on gas alone is the culprit.
There are things going on in the stock market that have contributed severely to this problem.
Rising gas prices, for now, are seemingly out of our control, but we do have options to help us save money and gas as individuals while waiting for the country to take matters more seriously and get moving on offshore and Alaskan drilling.
We can start first by lessening the amount of driving we do.
That is the most simple, yet it is not enough.
Some vehicles can be converted to run on water and gas.
Vehicle maintenance can help us save gas and mileage.
And how about carpooling with family and friends.
Not only will it save gas and money, it will help bring us all closer together.
These are just a few gas saving tips.
There are several lists on the web of how to say no to high gas prices and by giving you gas saving tips.
As a country we need to be more aggressive about allowing and starting offshore drilling.
The president has already said he is for it, but we are now waiting on congress.
Every state should step back and look at what offshore drilling could mean for the country, not what will it do to/for out state.
You can let congress know where you stand on this issue.
And now is a perfect time as they have gone on vacation and won't be making any decisions soon.
Select to drill here and drill now.
