But the only way that the prices of gas are going to come down is if every one that can parks there car for at least 30 days. The more people that are not driving and using other means to get back and forth to work such as a bike or walking if feasible. Like I said before I know that not every one3 will be able to do this for many have very long commutes but for those that live with in 10 mile of work there are other alternatives to driving every day we can ride bikes or ride the bus. park the cars for at least 1 month and the gas prices will come down. We have to do something before it is to late because if we dont the gas prices will drive the economy into the toilet, and the economy is our responsibility as much as the governments. if we keep having to pay such high prices for gas people will be having to choose between gas to go to work adn rent or house payment or food on the table mark my words that we are the ones that can do something and the sooner we do it the better the longer we wait to do something the harder it is going to be on everyone

No one works with me on my shift in my area, so I must drive to get to work. [Edited by: Alex9990 at 5/11/2008 7:03:45 AM EST]

Do as any of them in one day as possible. I had to do this several years ago when I lived 23 miles from town, and it does make a difference.

I need my car for work everyday and besides buses don't run at 1am. I work 330pm til 1am. I sure as heck am not going to ride my bike in the dark. LOL.

As long as the rest of the world is having a booming economy it doesn't matter if we cut back, the price will keep going up or at the best level off.

totallyforgiven Rookie Author Pennsylvania Posts:55 Points:30,850 Joined:Apr 2006	Message Posted: May 6, 2008 2:39:50 PM Ignore totallyforgiven Report Abuse I live in the country and if I lived 10 miles from work, it still would not be feasible to ride-a-bike, lol. Not sure how your area is, but we have a lot of hills, so it would be impossible to depend on a bicycle, even for 30 days.

rivers Champion Author Pittsburgh Posts:19,801 Points:2,640,030 Joined:Oct 2005	Message Posted: May 1, 2008 1:24:44 PM Ignore rivers Report Abuse I live in the country and I'm five minutes from work, but there is no bus available.
