What can we do about the gas prices?

The high gasoline prices must have disturbed every single citizens finances and sleep and people can’t help getting all vexed about it.Everywhere you go , you will get to hear the same question being repeated over and over again,”What can we do about the gas prices?” What you won’t hear is a definite answer.
Word is that by next summer the prices of gasoline will be as high as five dollar per gallon, It is high time we do something about it, But then again,What can we do about the gas prices?
I recieved an email recently which shared quite a great idea.It advies everyone to start a “don’t buy gas from the two biggest companies” campaign.
It actually is pretty simple.If a lot of people actually get together and do this campaign it might even help.The two biggest companies at the moment are obviously EXXON and MOBIL.
So, For the rest of the year, If we all decide not to buy gas from them, they will be inclined to reduce the prices and if they do that, the other smaller companies will have to do the same.

The next time you question yourself or your colleagues that what can we do about gas prices,don’t get into the car for every small chore or task you have to do.
Walk, jog or run instead.Think about it you’ll be saving the money you normally spent on the gymnasium. And if it is mandatory for you to use the car, you can also arrange a car-pool.
Use less gas,the price drops automatically.
If you really want to take away the pricing power from gas and oil comapnies then use less of it.Recently I read about a person who insulated the attic, and switched from a gas clothes dryer and a gas range to electric ones.You can do the same too.
Next time a friend asks you the question that ,”what can we do abot the gas prices ?”Advice her that if she cannot cut down her car usage she can cut down her mileage and therefore her gas usage relatively.Follow suit.Also even being more organised might help.Make a list of things you need to buy before you take your car out, that way you wont need to waste gas for to go down to store over and over again.Remeber every small change you make makes a small difference. I have yet to meet a person who is not tired of the price hike of the gas.Everybody seems to think that the gas shortage is just a trick for the big companies to control us and they all seem to wonder what they can do about the gas prices.
Recently I read a pretty strange way of doing your bit for cutting down the prices, over the internet.It said “inflate your tiers”.I cannot gurantee if it works or not but it did mention that this one was a no-brainer and all you had to do was make sure your tyres were well inflated while not in use. The truth is that we will forever keep wondering that what can we do about the gas prices till they actually reduce.And there is no fixed answer to that question , all we can do is to hope to make a small difference in whichever way possible.
