Can We Control Gas Prices?

[Glenn and Lorraine]

I wanna say one last thing and I'll leave this thread, Lorraine and I are both retired and on a very fixed income. The only income I collect is from my SSI as I have no other pensions. Lorraine also has the SSI and a small pension. We both get part time jobs in the winter to supplement our income. This is the primary money we use in the summer months for our travels. YES the hi price of fuel does effect us as much as the rest of you if not more so as we are traveling all summer full timers. We cut corners by eating out less and making less side trips for groceries. For example, We do our grocery shopping on our way back from an attraction(s). We try to combine side trips as much as possible. I no longer run to Lowes or Camping World just for wishful thinking. If we need something from Lowes, unless it is an emergency, we will wait until we encounter one in our travels be it with the Monty or otherwise. If we run out of milk we do without until we have other errands to run or an attraction to see. WE COMBINE TRIPS.

What I was trying to get across in my earlier reply is you are wasting your time if you think for one minute you will ever get the likes of Exxon/Mobil, Hess, Texaco, BP and the others to lower their prices. Oil, like Gold, is a trading commodity and like Gold it will continue to rise in cost whether we little guys like it or not.

In summation I can only say----It ain't gonna change so live with it and most of all one way or another "GET ON LIFE".

I will now leave this thread behind.
