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.

I think Hillary Clinton’s time has finally come. Let the truth be known that she is truly truth-challenged!
Her speeches about her trip to Bosnia, her political choices, what she has voted for and started, and her family matters are all, according to her, misspoken instances in her life. She plays down every thing she is corrected on as mishaps in her choice of words. Anyone else would be considered a liar.
They should do a movie about the Clintons and call it “Slick Willie Meets Slick Hillie”. It would be a blockbuster especially if they were left in charge of promoting and financing it.
The truth of the matter is that Hillary Clinton doesn’t just bend the truth but completely changes it. She makes up her form of the truth - lies - and passes it out as the truth, the way she wants people to view her as a woman, mother, wife and politician.
It’s a good thing there are people out there with enough clout to get the truth about her out over the Internet, TV and radio. Otherwise, many would still have the Clintonian wool pulled over their eyes.
I wonder what other things she has said over her political career that were misspoken…
Someone check her tongue and see if it ain’t forked!
