Gas out days

As far as being a dirt farmer...I was born on a farm, I picked strawberries at 8 and drove a pickup and tractor before I could reach the peddles. Don't tell me about farmers because that crap runs in my veins.

You're correct, I'm a college boy but this college boy can run any piece of equipment you care to mention including Rome plows which you don't even know exist. I've personally built two houses which makes me a college boy, carpenter, plumber, electrician,welder and still have the ability to think things through logically.

Ok, I shouldn't bust your chops either and I do admire your persistance but I'll tell you Gary..you're wrong and as much as hurts you, no one can make you right. This world is evolving rapidly and there's not a damn thing that you nor I can do about it.

Company don't make sales they'll lower prices..generally you're correct except..if the product is a necessity...like insulin for diabetics...you need it or die therefore you'll pay. Gas...what am going to use? A horse? Heck, even in Tx, horses won't work. Been to Dallas, Corpus, Gun Barrel City, Houston, Amarillo and other places and guess what...freaking cars all over the places....how are they going to do without gas? Think.

I don't know agriculture...I think I addressed that already. Plowing,disking, harrowing, seeding...oh please..Hanging hogs for Fall slaughter...yes, college,,,but farming? You could starve to death being a small farmer as you well know and I like pizza and wings now and then along with a Michalob.

Proper air pressure will conserve fuel, and saving one startup will save fuel. This will _actually_ do something, as opposed to increasing gas sales the rest of the week on your plan.

My idea, less fuel bought, price goes down. Your plan, same gallons sold, companies laugh at you.

Only saving grace is that Saudi Arabia has decided to boost production of oil by 2 million gals/day and that might, might have a depressing pressure on gas.

You also need to factor in the international demand for oil, in particular, China. They're a developing economy and are presently becoming one of the biggest importers of oil. When that country with one billion people get fired up and they all get roads and cars..$2/gal will seem like a major bargain.

China wasn't a player as a world economy 20 years ago. I don't think it was much of a player 15 years ago. It is just recently that we are all talking about China..ask yourself...how the heck did they hit the world market in such a short time frame that we're all talking about them? If that rate of growth continues or exponentially increases...what is China going to be in another 15 years? That's a blink of an eye as you know.

As for Japan..Japan was destroyed in the 40s, in the 50's they made absolute junk like China does now...well, much of their stuff is junk. In the 60s, Japan is still low wage and produces junk..in the 70s ,they are a high quality producer and are taking over the US...remember? In the 80s same thing, Japan this and that. We are all scared. In the 90s, they are now highly developed and their wage struture moves way up and they are no longer a low wage nation. Now it's China. What will happen in China in another 15 years? Will they become a huge oil suck? They are now.

As for our loss of jobs.. I know, I worry about that two..you mention outsourcing of xray films..try outsourcing of medical/legal transcription and ...and...your tax returns which you might think your local accountant does.. he just might be one of them who emails them to Bangalore to be done and emailed back.

Later...I gotta go eat.

Gas..you'll use the same amount if you buy it today or tomorrow. You ready to not go to work? You will not cut your consumption of gas.

You might get a bit more efficient with gas but that's personal. You don't have to take a airplane flight, you might drive, not go, take a train. You don't have to stay in a hotel either. You have to have gas.
