We must increase gas mileage
Yesterday the price of crude oil slipped by the $135 per barrel mark. Our Senators held another ‘witch hunt’ calling big oil’s leaders to task in front of their committee. They were told essentially – "Hey same as last time – We can’t help it" I know that they are right!
Our Congress has not allowed drilling in……… there are too many to list – Just say ANYWHERE. They have not allowed refinery construction – last one was in 1973.
Clearly Congress is not there to help us with our energy problems – yet they, I blieve, are totally responsible for this mess.
For now, for today, I am doing everything I can to increase my gas mileage. Putting off travel, combining trips, turning off my motor in traffic or lines, driving 55 mph on the turnpike, windows up and no A/C.
Everyone should do some of this – use less gas – we are NOT "sending a message" – Congress isn’t listening. the message is reduce, conserve and use less fuel – these are all things each of us can achieve.
