Roundup: Price of gas around the world; Ontario and Long Beach say good bye to ExpressJet
Good morning travelers! There’s lots of travel news buzzing around the Web today. Are you working on your weekend plans?
Airlines news | If you fly ExpressJet out of Ontario and Long Beach you’re going to have to look for flights under a different name — Continental Express. Read: ExpressJet will end commercial passenger flights. Note: If you have ExpressJet tickets for flights dated after Sept. 1, contact ExpressJet Reservations at (888) 958-XJET (Ext. 9538) for a refund.
Did you check your e-mail yesterday? A rare public appeal letter from the CEOs of 12 U.S. airlines requested frequent fliers to contact Congress about the problem of market speculation and how it is affecting oil prices. They directed customers to the website Stop Oil Speculation Now. Read: Airline execs ask customers to stop high oil prices
Gas prices | I suppose we should quit our whining about gas prices. Los Angeles Times Staff Writer Marla Dickerson reports that Gasoline prices hit harder outside the U.S. For instance, gasoline is $8.96 a gallon in London, $9.43 in Paris and even more in Oslo at $9.85. And these are average prices. They have us listed at $4.11. Want to know where gas is cheap? Caracas, Venezuela; Tehran and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, all have gas at under 50 cents a gallon.

You think prices are high now, most Economists Worldwide predict

This Business will really Boom very soon, the higher fuel prices go
the more and more this Business will grow.
Every person who owns a motor vehicle can and will benefit from this
product and its available Worldwide, this Business is International.
A friend of mine introduced me into this Business, I was sceptical at
first because there are so many products that make similar claims, but
NOW I BELIEVE.
My friend told me so many positives about the product, but he
stipulated that I should try it myself first. I signed up, paid the
joining fee and purchased the least expensive pack to try for myself.
2 weeks later I purchased a Premium pack, then when I received the
pack I gave a small amount away to 2 Cab drivers, a Courier driver
and a Truck driver. I told each of them to try the product then
contact me if they wanted more, I hate pushing Products or Businesses
onto people.
Each of them came back for more and they had told so many other
people about it that I just grow my Business by word of mouth. The
company Guarantee this product with Money Back, and claim savings of
7-14% on Fuel usage, however all of my customers make claims of
12-19% savings. The truck driver was spending $7000 per week on fuel
between 5 vehicles, he has reduced his total bill by $1400. I have 2
Mining companies trialing the product at the moment and if I am lucky
enough to win them onto the product I know that I will be able to give
my normal job away, this is the best thing I have ever been involved
in, and with fuel prices continually rising I know my income will
continue to rise.
Click on my link, mouse over the map select the area closest to
where you live and check everything out, watch the video’s and decide
for yourself. I never push anyone, best of luck on your decision and
thanks for your interest.
