A guy on tv drove from chicago to NYC on one tank of gas in a prius. He got extra mileage by using cruise control, driving at 55, rolling to stops when possible rather than abrubt breaking and puttng the car in neutral when going downhill (i think). I am making a personal effort to conserve. I dont need the money but others need the gas for their survival and i want prices lower for them so i will do my part. We fight wars without sacrifice and have been a wasteful society as a whole. I am going to try a little harder to do the right thing. I believe in free markets and i know that if you reduce demand prices fall. What we need in the US is a CARTEL of drivers to get prices down. What our govt needs to do is not go begging to saudi but demanding that developing countries stop subsidizing fuel products for their people. Just like with cell phones they have a chance to be at the forfront of conversation. Copying us here wont work.
