Why Are Gas Prices So High and What You Can Do

By: Mark Myers

Fuel prices have become completely out of hand lately. There are things you can do. Granted, some will be roughly equal to banging your head against the wall

Why are gas prices so high? Supply and demand is the simple answer. Demand is growing faster than supply is growing because of global pressure for fossil fuels It would appear the age of cheap fossil fuels and gasoline are gone forever.

The reasons are up to speculation, but America has chosen not to produce and refine more oil. It is senseless for the vast majority of Americans to feel this agony every time they go to the gas stations. Yes, everyone gets that there will be environmental prices to pay for oil drilling and new refineries. But the impact to the ""white snow polliwog must be proportional with the damage to our economy. It is condemnable for our country to have the ability to reduce foreign oil dependence and decide to do nothing.

What can you do about high gas prices? Call every state and federal politician you can find a phone number for. Make them explain exactly why gas prices are so high. Ask them why the US hasn't constructed a new refinery in 30 years. Ask them why they don't support drilling in ANWR. Short of putting up an oil rig in your yard, this is the all you can do to affect supply.

So, why are gas prices so high? You can affect demand. However, it is dressed up in overalls and resembles work. Just a few years ago driving an vehicle required more than just starting it up and driving. You didn't have cruise. You had to change your own flat. You had to adjust the choke for instance. You had to check your oil weekly.

What does this have to do with high gas prices? You need to be prepared for the price of saving up to 80% on your fuel costs. Eventually auto manufacturers will develop alternative powered vehicles when they have no choice. You can wait, and continue paying $3.50 a gallon for gasoline, or you can do something else NOW.

Alternative energy is not new. The world has been using power from nature from the beginning. Think water mill, horses, oxen, dogs, wood, whale blubber, wind mills, and fire. As a means of moving people and cargo these all fall short of the mark, especially when you already own a automobile.

Now it is possible to burn hydrogen gas extracted from water, on an as needed basis, mix it with gasoline, ignite it in your engine, and save money on gasoline. You can construct a contraption from everyday items for under $60 that will accomplish this. It will take you an afternoon with simple tools to make, and under an hour to install it. The rub is, you will have to maintain it, which could take 30 minutes a month. Are you willing to give up your time to save between $1 - $1.50 on every gallon of gas you buy?

Why are gas prices so high? They don't have to be.
