RE: Oil prices fell below $97 a barrel on Monday after Hurricane Ike inflicted minimal damage!
FramerGuy, I 100% agree with what you have stated! I for one have changed the way we drive at home and it has made a difference! I have a 99' Tahoe and a 99' Honda Civic and the hoe only gets driven when completely necessary! Mainly to pull the boat or a trailer! I didn't realize that if you can limit your driving enough that your insurance company will lower you rates! You do have to prove it but still money is money! I am with State Farm and told them that is doesn't get drove anymore and they said if you can prove it gets drove less than 9,000 miles a year they would take $20.00 off a month! So needless to say it stays put! I also have started driving like my grandma and my fuel consumption went up about 3 miles per gallon! All I did was read a couple of articles on those hypermilers and started observing a few of there rules and it works! We cut our gas bill by about $50.00 a month and I encourage everyone to try it at the very least! That is the only way we as consumers can change the gas prices!
