While surfing net to get

While surfing net to get data related to projects of mortgage loan , mortgage rate , mortgage lender i came here and find this web an interesting one...i found useful information at here...There are certainly many different posts at here...And this one also seems to me different one!

I agree with gas war!

I believe the only way we can take back controll of gas prices is to stop getting gas at specific companies in month long boycotts. One month, target ALL Shells, the next month ALL Chevrons and so on and so forth. One day does nothing! A month of no sales (including the little stuff like chips, cokes and hotdogs) will damage ANY company. It is truly unfair that they are making record profits and we HAVE TO pay these prices.

FIGHTING HIGH GAS PRICES

EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET REAL!if they build a car that gets 200 mpg the oil giants would only go up on their prices to compensate for their short fall. the only way to fight back is to have a selective boycott against the giants. exon mobile and citgo! i know they sell gas to other stations under other names but these giants can noT afford to let their company owned stores close.not to mention THEIR STOCK PRICES WOULD DROP LIKE AN UNLEADED BALLOON!!! IF YOU WANT TO GET THOSE PRICES DOWN DO NOT BUY FROM EXON MOBILE OR CITGO STARTING NOW UNDER ANY CONDITIONS!!SEND THIS IN EMAIL OR TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO DO THE SAME THING AND WE WILL SEE THAT THE BUYER NOT THE SUPPLIER CAN CONTROL THE MARKET WAKE UP AMERICA

Federally Authorized Gas Blend Standard

Josh has a great idea. I suggest that the unfortunate acronym Federally Authorized Gas Blend Standard be changed to "GAGBS" or "government authorized blend standard," mostly because when you hear the excuses coming out of the oil industry, the BS really does make you want to gag. Historically, the oil industry has used different fuel blend standards as an excuse to to hike prices. And once hiked, they stay hiked. The Bush mandate that ethanol be used in gasoline as a pollution fighting additive was an attempt to standardize the nation's fuel supply with a single additive. Unfortunately, it didn't work. California still has separate fuel standards.

Gas war

I have the answer for the gas prices, Everyone stop buying gas from everyone exept one place like speedway or what ever someone can come up with to start, After about a week of this all the other companys will have to lower there prices to get there customers back so I belive if someone can help with this idea and get it out there on tv or somthing I do belive this could work... The not buying gas on one day dont do nothing , you have to have gas so your going to buy it the day before or the day after so whats that huring anyone ...Its not but if we stop buying from everyone but one company then we will hurt someone...
Thanks Josh

Converting vehicles to natural gas

Enrique, the mechanic at the 76 on 6th and Robinson can convert a gasoline engine to Natural Gas, and may be willing to either refer you to someone, or tell you how to do it. You'll need special equipment, tanks, etc.

He is a former SDG&E employee and was responsible for maintaining their natural gas fleet. It is expensive. I wanted to convert my carbuerated Olds, and he told me it would cost at least $2,000 to convert it to dual-fuel. If you have a fuel injected car, it may be cheaper.
