Politicians don't seem to get any of that. They waste money. They pay more attention to their own special interests, and those of their lobbyist friends. When they run out of $, they ask the taxpayers to pay more, as in the proposed 5 cent gas tax hike in Orange County. Brilliant! I'm going to tell my boss tomorrow that I need a raise to pay for all the things my family can't afford! Like I said, politicians are clueless.......... I can't wait to hear their argument for paying the same amount of taxes on homes that have devalued some 25%! I'm sure it will be equally as brilliant.................

Davis Fri, 30 Jan 2009 16:40:49 +0000 #comment-16 With EXXON posting a record 45.2 billion profit has no bearing on the price of gasoline at the pump. That is a problem with the gas station operators. The most unorganized price system is how gasoline is priced to the customer. First of all, there is no regulatory price rules for gasoline vendors. The only rules and laws govern only if gouging is suspected. Why is it that gas station operators are afraid to lower their price 20 or 25 cents per gallon below that of their competition. Are they afraid of the oil company cutting off their supply? I doubt that. Why is the same gasoline that was sold a couple of months ago as low as $1.49 a gallon already back to $1,89 a gallon. I would suggest that the oil companies are priming themselves for another mega billion profit for the coming year. Don't ask the government to step in. They are afraid of the oil companies.

Its the Reid Vapor pressure thats your problem. Police cars in Texas are using the Eco Systems in thier crown vics which are known for performance problems. Do yourself a favor and research "Reid Vapor pressure" the EPA controls this. The Eco Sysyem is installed in your gas line and as gas goes through the device, it increases the REID vapor pressure. This gives you a more complete burn. which means increased power, less hesitation and less fuel consumed lower emmisions. The State of Texas spent over $80,000 testing this product... NASA uses it, school buses, emergency viechles etc. They all are saving money on thier Fuel Bills. I would really like to see WFTV get the word out on the product!!!! Goto www.etieco.com on home page on the bottom their are Texas News Stations Reports on the Eco Sysytems Thanks Norman Goto http://www.savegasandgogreen(consumer)

You go to the pump and select premium or 93 octane but you are actually pumping 87 or 91 if you are lucky. WILL SOME ONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I drive a car that requires 93 octane. When my car started driving like crap and I could literally watch the gas needle move I took it to get serviced and had my injectors clean. After all this I was still expriencing the problem. I spoke to some people in and around my area that have similar octane requirements and they were going through the same things. I don't have the resources to prove this as a fact but it cannot be a coincident that so many of us are experiencing this at the same time. So I hoping someone reads this and investigates. If they are going to sell lower grade or quality gas then they should charge LESS!!!!!!!!! and at least let us know. Gas stations in Central Florida are selling regular gas as premium.

I have reduced my staff and put all clients on routes. We are working only 4 day's a week. (40 hrs). As people move to conserve. I have lost maybe 20% of business this year alone. The price of fuel will determine my future. I don't have much room to move finacially! 22% fuel, 35% staff,25% maintance/equiment. You do the math. Don't look good for me or my 10 employees.

A NEV, which has a top speed of 25 mph and a range of about 30 miles, cannot go everywhere (limited to streets with speed limits of 35 mph and lower), but it serves most of my transportation needs. For my Honda Accord, which I use when I must go somewhere my GEM cannot go, I spent ONLY $184 on gasoline for the entire year of 2007. If gasoline were to go to $10 per gallon my GEM would still get me to most of the places I need to go at just pennies per mile. Another benefit of driving my GEM is that it emits no tailpipe pollutants -- in fact it doesn't even have a tailpipe. When I return home from a trip I plug in to recharge the batteries for my next trip. Sometimes I might make a 20 mile trip early in the morning, recharge when I get home, and make another 20 mile trip later in the afternoon.
