It’s really a simple thing. Supply and Demand are behind it all. One little thing that can have a big effect on the prices of gas is if people stop buying so much of it. But another little thing that can possibly have an even greater effect is if people stop buying the gas from the major gas companies. If people do that, then they’ll have no other alternative buy to lower their prices.

If the major gas companies can’t sell gas at their current prices and the smaller guys sell a lot of gas at whatever prices they charge, then the BIG guys will have to lower their prices. If they do that, then everyone else will have to lower their prices too.

Of course, if everyone also conserved gasoline by carpooling and riding mass transit alternatives like buses, trains and maybe even mixed in a bicycle or walked, if in a close vacinity, then that might also help the prices of gas go down.

So the next time you think about buying gas, try going to a station that is not associated with the major gas companies like Mobil, Exxon and anyother large companies you can think of.
