I agree with this! If I always fill my tank when it reaches half full, and keep the air in my tires up (every 6 weeks or so!) then I get 3 mpg more.

Fuel up when it's cool. If that's early morning, or night doesn't matter. You pump more FUEL when the weather is cool. When it's hot, gas expands, and what you pump will be less dense than what you pump on a cool part of the day.

Carpool!

I don't see the situation as a gas crisis, only a money crisis for the consumer. Halifax creates it's own ...using sewage and it only takes 30 minutes for each barrel of oil! (Where is the media on this!!!??? )

We have plenty of oil reserves, yet untouched, but don't have refineries here in the USA to produce any more than they do. They are not going to build more refineries as they make more money this way, plus, the newer non-oil energies are being developed (air, solar etc) and maybe within 10 years we won't need any more refineries. (Petroleum based products seem to always be though, plastics, rubber, etc.)

That we have not been required to drive more slowly, and that we do not have to carpool (like in the 70s, but don't get me started lol we have tankers off the coast of FL that couldn't unload because all the resevoirs were FULL) but that no limitations have been set as a nation should say something to you.

I hope the higher prices will get the drivers off the road that have no where to go anyway. Less accidents, less traffic... yeah, my cup of tea!

TC!
