How Close Is $4-Per-Gallon Gasoline?

Supply and demand does rule! The facts are that the rising gas prices have only got us thinking and not reacting. On any given day all across America you still see only one person per car, People racing for positions from stop lights as if qualifying for next weeks race, Disregarding speed limits and fast food drive-thrus backed up. We can make choices that lower our individual gasoline consumption, but it is going to take sacrifice! We have to dethrone ourselves from our chariots and commute with others via car pools or public transportation, allow others to pass us without feeling dishonored and the need for redemption!, drive under the posted speed limit not slightly over and get out of our vehichle and go into the establishment we choose to do our daily business with (Banking, Food, Pharmacy ...). All of these choices could be implemented immediately and would have a considerable impact on the supply and demand rule if we all participate. Now there will always be the business person or worker who thinks their schedule is too busy or complicated to car pool, the young person gunning their cars because they just don't get it, those who just can't break the speeding habit and those who legitimatly have difficulty getting in and out of their vehicle (Americans with Disabillities). We all need to do our part to set an example and be more understanding.
