The above image was World War II propaganda attempting to urge Americans to carpool to support the conservation of oil for the war effort. Today, replace “Hitler” with “Big Oil” and it still applies – with the exception that Pump N Go is not interested in cutting back for purposes of supporting a war; instead we are interested in converting the world’s dependence on oil to independence from oil.
In 2007 gas consumption in the U.S. fell by .4 percent for the entire year. In comparison, consumption dropped .5 percent for January and February of 08 thus far. As most anyone can surmise, the decline has been triggered by the seemingly ever increasing and record breaking fuel prices. Pump N Go wonders, what alternatives are individuals utilizing nationwide in order to curtail their usage of gasoline? Have we resorted to less travel, the once highly popular and then to some extent neglected car pool method, walking to our destinations, utilizing public transportation or using alternative fuel vehicles? A few clicks around PNG’s site and one recognizes alternative fuel vehicles are available in numerous options – some of which are available now and others that would ideally become the solution to our oil crises in the near to distant future (cross your fingers for near future). Post your thoughts, comments and even your rant on what you’ve done to curtail the use of gas and participate in our poll (link below)…
