Not purchasing coke or chips only hurts the individual gas station's business. It won't lower the price of gas, because that is set by the people who sell the gas to the stations (and what they pay for gas is set by the people who sell them the oil to make it).
If you want gas prices to go down, stop buying gas. Price is high because demand is high.

If you really want to annoy the gas companies buy your gas $10s at a time using your credit card. They have to pay fees to the credit card company. If you're going to put in fifty dollars worth and you do it ten dollars at a time you're using up the clerk's time and causing the company to pay five user fees rather than one. If everyone did this it would drive the accountants at the gas companies insane. Of course, people won't do it. They'll just gripe and complain. As usual. The gas companies know that.

The loose enterprize equipment is an incredible equipment yet has some inherent pitfalls. gas: that is in keeping with grant and demand. human beings call for somewhat some gas. After the hurricanes in the gulf, a number of the rigs have been broken and the various refineries have been broken. This decrease the availability. The gas companies cranked up the fees to objective to diminish the call for. It worked exceptionally plenty. maximum persons drove much less and deliberate our journeys batter. Now, the capacity is exceptionally stable yet that's the time of three hundred and sixty 5 days the refineries retool which cuts production yet must be performed, hence spring fee will improve. as quickly as the capacity comes back online, summer time making use of season starts off which drives up the call for back. Heating: organic gas is a renewable resourse in spite of if that is complicated to transport. If the income margin drops, providers provide up imparting, expenditures go up, providers start up imparting back. that could be a curler coaster. medical fee is the super one. An occasion of the undertaking is occurring in my city. we've 2 significant hospitals and that they are consistently competing against one yet another. One wellness facility buys a three million dollar MRI gadget so the different one has to do a similar. This drives up fee. Then there is the laywers. Million dollar malpractice fits stress coverage expenses via the roof. docs pays an ungodly volume for coverage so they'd desire to cost extra. Then there is the hipocratic oath, a poverty striken man or woman gets so ill he has to flow to the wellness facility, they'd desire to handle him. He would desire to have long gone to the Dr a protracted time in the past so now that is relatively undesirable and quite high priced to handle him. The insured would desire to pay for that and the wellness facility has to cost extra to make up for the loss. that could be a snowball result that gets plenty worse previously it gets extra efficient. Sorry for the spelling errors, spell verify is down.

Time to form new companies that makes totally onboard hydrogen car to be totally independant from oil. Not the freakish 'economic' minded plans of hydrogen stations where you are still dependant. Makes the cars self sufficent. There was an article ounce in the newspaper years ago of a guy who invented a car running on burning tires. He said he invented an atomizer which would take care of the bad fume.

You can fight it by reducing your consumption. Use a high mpg vehicle. Optimize with fewer, better planned auto trips, use Skype or the phone rather than flying for gatherings, change light bulbs out with LED. Reduce useage of plastics (and purchases of items wrapped in a lot of plastic.
