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.
