How to lower gas prices

I am not sure why the gas companies would do this--and I am certainly against the government mandating it--but what if they stopped making mid-grade and premium gasoline?

Even when the price of crude per barrel falls we can't gain ground on pricing because of refinery capacity, so why not stop devoting 15-20% of that capacity to fuel that our cars don't need anyway?

If there were more low-grade gas on the market--the type recommeded by the vast majority of auto manufacturers--wouldn't that increased supply lower the price?

Just wondering.

Love that Cheap Gas!

The guy on TV said that gas is not too expensive.

I'm so glad to hear that because I was about to get worried.

That's right, some dude from Allstate Insurance (this is not a paid post, so they owe me) said that gas is very clearly NOT too expensive. This is because--get this--we are still buying it!

The smart guy went on to explain that if gas were too expensive, we would be buying less of it. What he didn't explain is how exactly one goes about buying less gas.

I can use less gas about as easily as I can use less air!

I thought gas was too expensive as soon as it cost me a buck fifty! Now that it is approaching four bucks, I can't figure out how I can use less. What do I cut out?

Do I tell my 14- and 16-year-old boys that I can't take them and pick them up from Bible study?

Do I stop going to church to sing and serve in various capacities four times a week?

Do I figure out a way to teach from home?

Do I stop taking my kids to music lessons?

Believe me, as cheap as I am, EVERY trip we have to take has me seeing dollar signs!

Maybe I just ought to relax and listen to the guy on TV. Fill 'er up!
