Amazing, we are still enjoying the cheapest gas in the country here in Tucson Arizona.

Well, just 20 miles south of you, the gas is about $0.50 more. To the east of you about 300 miles, the gas is about $0.30 more.

Let's keep the prices down together with the consumption.

Are you suggesting we consume more or less FL my friend?

I say we car pool more. I need to work on bicycles that can travel 50-60 mph so that people can use these to go to work. I'm a bit of an inventor at times. Less gas used, the more painful it becomes for the price gaugers.

Let's come up with some nice solutions to the gas thing. We will of course, have to give up Hummers, Avalanches, Commanders, Excursions, Extrusions, Protrusions, etc. Be kind of fun doing the low gas consumption thing.

Many of these ideas have been explored for a long time but runs into opposition from the (hate to say it again) that 2% of which make so much money from our consumption. There's so much we can do! Hummers & such - let people keep 'em as toys but inappropriate for everyday use. We have train tracks all through the U.S. we can use for Commuters. Tempe voted in a train system but they were not wise with the design. Bart's a great system in Northern Cali.- very efficient. We have solar, manual operating systems, eletric, wind - we have the resources & willing to use them. Car Pooling is a good idea - in fact - Companies would be better served by having N/S/E/W Shuttle systems that would insure their workers get in on time w/o the problems we encounter each trying to drive into the same place @ the same time! Give 'em a good kick in the butt Boot! Gore has focused on these areas & look at the ridicule & slander he gets for even trying...

Just make everyone walk. Everybody walks, if it was practical. Unfortunately, some of us live as much as 50-60 miles from work. What a drag.
