It doesnt work , In fact it work the exact opposite. Look at it this way, so you don't buy gas on friday, ok, that means your tank is got less than it would have if you would have filled friday, so they expect a big demand the next day,

YOur right something has to be done. But the only thing that will work is doing something completely different for fuel. Or a way to cut back much more drastically, as it is cars use a hell of a lot less than they did in the 60's.

If you can handle taking the dreaded bus for the day, You don't have to buy gas for that particular day. Works better than delaying your gas purchase.

There you go. I just wish I knew how to get building materials on a bus and to where I want them to go.

All that needs to happen for the price of gas to go down is the dollar needs to get better. Thats all. But it will never do that if the fed keep cutting rates, we are down to 2 points now. which is almost the lowest its ever been.
They are most likely going to pause from cutting rates now which is a very good thing. If its true and if at the next fed meeting they don't cut rates look for the dollar to go up, and the price of oil to go down.
Oil is way too expensive, and even the oil companies have admitted it finally. They say it should be around $60 a barrel which is about right.

Some of them buses have those bicycle racks on them. Great place to put lumber as long as it's not over 8 foot long.
And if you request the handicapped bus to come to your house is even better. But some of them want proof of injury before they let you on.

Yanno. Thats worth a try.
Wish it were true. I also live in the country, 5 miles from civilization.

you are right on the dollar needs to go up ,hope it does ,
but while the rest of the world is buying oil at $120 USD a barrel , you don't have any option , America already has the cheapest fuel in the world , so I don't see much chance of it going down in price , it's now a limited commodity , and forcast to hit $200 within 2 years , just my thoughts ,hope I am wrongt on that ,

It is forecasted to hit $200 a barrel because the Dollar was so poor. Thats changing now. 1 Day after the fed cut rates probably for the last time we have this
http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080501/wall_street.html
When the dollar goes up oil goes down. The only major reason oil really went up was because the dollar was so poor. It looks like that is starting to change. If the dollar start to go up to where it should be the price of oil will be cut in 1/2
Another thing to look at is gold. When the price of gold falls the dollar goes up, and oil goes down. Gold is down to about $850 from over $950 about a month ago.

Whatever it takes, I hope it does get somewhat resolved. And if you remember Roco, we just charge less taxes on it. So learn to make cheaper roads bro.
