gas prices

Again? Looks like some bad idea won't go away!!! Lets look at this supposedly "good" idea of trying to pull the gasoline price down. First of all, gasoline is a traded commodity whose price goes up and down according to its supply and demand. The only way to reduce the price of gasoline is to first reduce demand. Which might mean you have to use public transport, car pool, use more economic cars instead of luxurious gasoline guzzling one. Yes, I know, these options are not that appealing. To satisfy our hunger for luxury and comfort traveling, we need gasoline. More and more everyday. This increasing demand will naturally increase the price, since supply is not but shrinking! Shifting your gasoline purchase from one day to the other does not, will not dent Oil Company and would definitely not decrease the price. That is only hallucination. If, enough people in a community do refrain their selves from buying gasoline for one day, the only party who will have to face major losses is your local small gas station, who live in the mercy of big oil companies, who operates with tiny profit margins. A one day loss for this type of stations will eat up their several days worth of profits. So, trying to pinch the big guys by punching in the gut of small ones are not only foolish, but evidently very cruel. To, decrease the price, you have to decrease your gasoline usage, not shift its purchase to another day.
