Gas ????

Starcraft · 08-31-2005, 12:28 PM

What's going on with the gas prices ? When are we going to put a cap on it ?
I think everyone should STOP buying gas (JUST FOR ONE DAY), and just what are people suppose to do when they can't afford to buy gas........Calvert County gas prices are now worse than Rockville. This is really a bunch of bull..

And what? Everyone not go to work and earn a living for one day? Have you been watching the news? Have you seen the condition of the refineries? Unfortunately, there's not much we can do and it looks like we'll be paying high gas prices for months to come.

Stick it out and hope for the best!

Refining capacity, as well as production, were disturbed by that recent storm that hit the Gulf Coast. Companies are hedging the future costs already by shifting the burden to the customers. A one day boycott won't be a drop in the bucket for them as they know they are the only games in town and we all need them.

Hopefully other forms of fuel will now be considered viable, like alcohol and biodiesel.

I gased up at the BP station at St james this morning for a low price of $2.52 a gal. Thats the lowest I've seen today. Wawa on Gr mills rd went up .39 cents in 24 hrs if I read it right .

There was an email going around not to buy gas on SEPT 1, 2005 (Thursday) I guess to try to get the prices down. The email was going everywhere not just Maryland.

The gas companies don't care if you boycott tomorrow, because they know that you'll either buy today or Friday.

The only way to really make a difference is to reduce usage long term. If it won't really inconvenience you, it's nothing more than symbolic. Our society tries to take the easy way out - symbolic protest, online petitions, etc. - instead of actually making the effort to effect chnage.
