Learn to fly.
My parents complain about gas prices alot. My family should really get a hybrid car.
[snapback]285418[/snapback]
Hybrid cars are really expensive. About $4000 more then a equivalent regular car.
Gas prices also wouldnt be so high if we can drill ANWAR, Gulf of Mexico, more of Texas, and Gulf of California. Also these stupid environmentalists wont let us build any refineries which is keeping gas prices ridiculously high.

Wouldn't it be better to just make the cars more effecient?

Making cars efficient doesnt lower gas prices. It just raises the amount of miles you can go on one gallon, prices will still be the same.

but you'll be able to use less gas to go farther.
But people will still complain about high gas prices.
[snapback]285560[/snapback]
People are mad because it costs too much to fill their car. With that logic you have, if gas cost 1 penny per gallon, people would complain. If they don't need as many gallons, then, they won't need to pay as much money.
ya know what hte worst part is? the gas company profits are up this year over last year. The price of gas for us has gone up faster than it has for them to sell it.
[snapback]285576[/snapback]
Yup. All these major gas companies are reporting record profits. Good thing there's that shortage...
Solution to problem: Promote puplic transport.
[snapback]285794[/snapback]
Won't work in America, most places don't have public transport. And where they do it's usually crap.
It's only crap if you make it crap by not promoting it and improving it.
[snapback]285915[/snapback]
Look at the size of the UK compared to the size of the US. That's why public transportation works better over there.
We still have problems with our buses....the price for a child has risen by 5 pence and the price for an adult has risen by 10 pence!
It may not seem like much, but it's getting ridiculous (sp?)!
We still have too many cars on the road...you get morons living up north who work in London durin the week, and they return home on friday....the motorway is packed....and it's cheaper to take the train!
I mean...it costs alot to drive to London...finding a place to park there is impossible, but they still choose to go by car....even when it's easier and cheaper to take the train!

i agree if i owned a gas station i would make the prices lowr so that more people would come to mine and no 1 elses now thats a good idea
[snapback]287477[/snapback]
No it isnt; gas stations dont control the prices of the gas.
the government does..if you made it cheap you'd be losing cash,....^^^
[snapback]289077[/snapback]
The Government only adds taxes to gas, they do not control it; OPEC controls the price of a gallon of oil.

Actually, it does work. Here Costco has the lowest gas prices in town, and they make the most money off it. It also causes people to buy more memberships to the warehouse, because you have to be a member to buy gas.

I think biggiofan18 meant that he would own an individual gas station and lower the price, which doesn't work.

Lies.
There is a gas station here in Texas...forgot where but I heard it on the radio...and the gas is $2.00. Although, I also heard that the line is backed up for half a mile.
