So the price for a barrel of oil is now down to $68. When it was $147, the prices of fuel doubled over the course a several months.

It was amazing to watch how quickly the numbers at the gas stations changed, sometimes just based on rumor. Many of our neighbors asked when the price was going to stop climbing. Many cancelled a summer vacation they were planning. Some stopped a number of non-essential subscriptions. Pretty much everyone looked for ways to lower their day to day costs. Driving less really wasn’t an option, and certaining wasn’t one that was chosen.

Our country is really based upon the idea of personal transportation. We have trains, planes, and buses, but the vast majority of the people drive everywhere – work, shopping, leisure activites. So when the price of gas went up, we cut down on other activities.

And it hurt.

Now, there is a financial situation occuring that is causing the price of oil to plummet. The price is down to the good old days.

Why has the price of fuel only dropped 15% when the cost of oil is HALVE!?!

Imagine how people are going to react when the price of oil starts going back up again…and the price of fuel rises at the same time. Really, you think the gas companies won’t use the rising price of petroleum to gouge us all again?

Time for us to demand electric cars. Not hybrids, electric. Screw the oil companies. For years they have been bleeding us dry. No pity for them.

Now to find a car company that’s not in bed with them.

Any ideas?
