Over the last month we have seen gas prices drop to levels we have seen in years. This has been caused be a couple of things (though these aren't the only reasons):
- People cutting back on driving due to prices.
- Less demand due to the current economic climate.
Now before we pull our SUV's out of the garage and celebrate with a drive out to California and back, let us resolve to send a message, we are ending our addiction to oil.
I urge you to continue to buy the fuel efficient cars, the hybrids, the smaller cars, etc. Keep carpooling, keep walking or taking public transit. Park the car and walk into the Tim Hortons instead of idling in the Drive-Thru(through?).
On a side-bar, if you are in the drive-thru at Tim Hortons you better only be buying coffee and donuts, otherwise you are wasting everyone's time. The drive-thru is for Coffee and Donuts only.
Kick the habit, and in the next couple of years, if you can afford it, go out and buy those next Generation Cars, like the Chevy Volt our the Plug-In Prius.
The only way this economy will truly recover is if we invest in the New Energy Economy, without oil.
As with any addiction, the first step is realizing you have a problem.
