Will Gas Prices Get Higher?

 

Photo by Soctech

I remember as a kid jumping into back seat of our Pontiac station wagon. We were headed out west camping.Summer Vacation! We fished in Yellowstone and visited relatives in Montana.

We filled up for about 31.9 cents a gallon.We had a 15 gallon tank. You do the math.

Today families are excited for Memorial Day weekend and summer. Gas is at $4.19 a gallon. My guess is that most people will stay home and make smores in their back yard.

What do you think? Will your driving habits change?

Do you drive a hybrid car?

What will vacations be like this summer?

What do you think?

Are You Sick Of High Gas Prices?

Runningbandit says:

Obviously we are all sick of higher gas prices. The Big 3 in Detroit are getting hit because of it. Ford, Dodge & GM can't even give away their trucks or SUV's, because of this. Smaller more fuel efficient cars are going like crazy, that's why Honda, Toyota and Nissan are doing so well. Enough about my rant though, maybe you could check out mine: http://www.squidoo.com/gascashcredit.

Alternative Fuel and Hybrid Modifications: Water4Gas? ~ Chris Pirillo
Stephen of Ohio (that's what he calls himself) sent me this message earlier today, no doubt in relation to my recent posts on the high cost of gas here in the United States:

"Now we all know that Ethanol is not going to take the market for fuel, hydrogen is somewhat promising, but how about improving your current vehicles gas mileage by using hydrogen in it's most basic and readily available state: water."

BMW Hydrogen Car Refueling 

BMW HYDROGEN Car Refuelling

Refuelling of the BMW hydrogen car. This car is an internal combustion hydrogen car. BMW are leasing it out to 100 high profile users. Hydrogen can be obtained from oil, natural gas, and water. It can be obtained from water through electrolysis. You may have heard on youtube of cars that run on water - there is no such thing as a car that runs purely on water. You can buy kits that enable you to run your car on a mixture of water and gas by using the cars battery to convert the water into hydrogen. The efficiency of these kits is under much debate because it uses energy to extract the hydrogen from the water. For more information on the BMW hydrogen car go to: http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2006/11/20/029311.html
