Learning From High Gas Prices
We went to a movie last weekend and went to the Shop Rite Supermarket near the movie theater on the way home rather than make a single trip to the supermarket the next day. It was about conserving some to that $2.83 per galloon gasoline. Seems like more Americans did the same thing, conserved feul. Makes sense really to combine outings rather than make a special trips especially when gas prices are so high. That gasoline stock are increasing mean consumers are doing more thing right.
“Something dramatic is occurring with consumer driving habits,” Geoff Sundstrom, a spokesman for AAA motor club, said in a telephone interview. “These numbers, if sustained over next couple of weeks, should set the stage for a reversal of price forecasts.”
While the idea of conserving gas is one on many American minds, the idea of conservation and spending quality time with the family while conserving a natural resource and creating less greenhouse gases is a rather pleasant feeling. Perhaps we can continue this practice of going to the supermarket after the movie even after gas prices come down.
