Gas prices are on the rise again
The Associated Press reports that gas prices have jumped back above $3 a gallon again — up 16 cents in the last two weeks. San Francisco ($3.28) has the most expensive gas in the country according to a recent Lundberg Survey. Last week the Automobile Club of Southern California wrote, “Gas Prices Increase for Seventh Week.” If you want to see how gas prices are comparing across the country, check out the Gas Buddy National Gas Temperature Map.

I have driven a Plug-in Hybrid for a year now that gets over 100mpg using Clean Domestic Wind Energy to offset the amount of Dirty Foreign Oil I need to buy.
In a month, for about 2,100 miles I use 15 gallons of gas, and 18.00 of electricity. At today’s cost of $3.25 per gallon, that is a total of $66.75. That works out to be about 3.2 cents per mile. In a standard Prius, that would be 6.5 cents per mile. In my Yukon that would be 27 cents per mile.
Look at it this way, at gas costs of $3.25;
Yukon, $568.75/month
Prius, $136.5/month
Plug-in Prius, $66.75/month
Those are numbers and Real Dollars you can take to the bank!
Do the math for yourself… your car vs. a 50mpg Prius.
Burning Fuel, “any liquid fuel” in our cars to throw into the air for all of us, and our children, to breathe into our lungs is bad. Why keep being a slave to a pump when electricity is already pumped into your home and you can even make it on the roof of your house.

Gasoline is outrageous! I personally know of 4 people who have had to quit their jobs/employment due to the rising costs of gasoline in the US. They can afford to drive 40++ miles to work and back. In rural areas of North carolina, one must drive a considerable distance to and from work. Unless you are a farmer, you’re bound for poverty. These minimum wage workers make just enough after taxes to buy gas for the next week of work, does this make any sense? Why work? To pay for gas? How do you feed your family and keep your house out of foreclosure? This really hits a major nerve with me, I feel so bad for these people.
there is a small alternative, to help cut your gas price with water conversion kits. I installed this system a few months ago and can see a difference in my gas mileage. I normally spend about $50/ wk in gas, now it’s about 35-$40, so there is a little savings there. Saves me about 450 a month, every penny counts!
