I think (hope) we have learned our lesson.
I actually think higher gas prices was just what we needed to shake us out of our I have to have it now mentality.
2.85 in NE Texas!
I wonder, now that fuel prices are dropping, what UTA will use to replace the "fuel surcharge" on their pricing structure?
Maybe the "bosses need more pay" surcharge?
We don't trust the big oil companies anymore. This may be a trick to get rid of the compitition of gas saving cars and other modes of transportation. If gasoline stayed high then we might find some good solutions to other fuels.
$2.69 in Iowa!!!!
It has NOTHING to do with habits...
With the economy tanking all around us we need every penny that we have.
Being frugal with gasoline at any price is a savings that can't be ignored.
Another uninformed reporting statistic of an uninformed media journalist.
Sandy, if you are going to talk about a return to gas guzzling ways why not show a little effort in educating us on what is gas guzzling. Do you know anything about the engineering that goes into vehicles? What is gas guzzling other than an emotional phrase that has no merit in meaningful contribution to discussion in energy conservation.
Be professional, be informed if you seek credibility.
We are in desperate need for energy tech to improve in the USA. We should be leading out in the world, I don't understand how so many people fight solar, wind, electric cars, etc.
Only dingbats keep chanting drill here drill now. You are making fools of yourselves.
Some people will go back to gas guzzling, alot never stopped. I bought a gas sipping "roller skate" when gas was $1.90/ gallon. I have always been frugal with my driving and can't do much else. My neighbors on the other hand, never felt the pinch and don't seem to care about the state we are in. Once again, the rich do as they will and the poor to lower middle class struggle. Nice to know some things will never change
YES! I'm going to buy my Excursion back next week! We need to hurry up and use it before it's gone and I need some legroom.
What a handwringin', sissy of a take of a headline.
Do you know why gas prices dropped? Supply and demand and the demand is not there, Good Job America!keep it up cut back on driving! Now I want my $175,000.00 that Morgan Stanley lost for me, they will get paid back but not me?
Before gas prices skyrocketed I had no idea there were significant measures I could take to save gas. Now that I know that driving slower, accelerating and decelerating gradually, coasting whenever possible, and keeping your oil fresh and tires properly inflated helps, I will continue to do these things for the benefit of the environment as well as my pocketbook. Besides, why spend more if you don't have to?
heedless - not taking heed : inconsiderate , thoughtless
How disappointing for a liberal journalist to refer to buying a legal and necessary product and then using it as "heedless". We have plenty of domestic supply (until recently safely off-limits by a "wise" congress) and there is no man made global warming problem. Why define a mundane necessity of life as reckless?
