Well...what are you doing about it?

Postby the doctor » Wed Mar 05, 2008 9:02 pm

with all the posts about gas, fuel, oil, gouging, inflation etc.

what are you doing about it? how are you offsetting/reducing you're gasoline needs? how are you conserving energy? what are you doing to still buy the $5/gal milk? increasing your income? decreasing other expenses?

lets hear it, truth be told for all of us it aint much and it is certainly not enough

parked the '99 F250 diesel, and bought a used Honda Element. Work from home 3 days a week. Fuel consumption is now about 25% of what it used to be.

I got a job closer to home. A $150 in gas a week just to go back and forth to work was putting me in the poor house for sure.

Raised prices at my office, and redueced my cost of goods to put more money in my pocket. So for the time being, I am avoiding the "pinch".

I am also joining fishing anonymous to try and take less 150 mile boat rides. :P
