Fortune Magazine conducted and interview with David O’Reilly, the CEO of Chevron.  Some of the topics covered in the interview include rising oil and gas prices, alternative energy sources, etc.  It is quite an interesting article, you can read it here if you’re interested: Chevron’s CEO: The Price of Oil.

One of the more interesting points of the article is that O’Reilly feels like we will still be heavily oil dependent for the next couple of decades.  So this means that high gas prices may just be around for awhile.  So now is the time to start to learn how to save money on the gas that you use.  Whether its learning ways to use less, using a gas additive, or whatever, now is the time to start to figure out how to reduce your fuel bill.

According to most news articles this morning, the majority of people didn’t let high gas prices affect their Thanksgiving travel plans.  But other people were affected and had to cancel trips because they felt that it would be too big a strain on their pocketbooks.  Did the price of gas affect your holiday travel plans?

It seems that most of us are willing to make cuts in other areas so that we can still see family during this time of year.  But what will happen as the prices continue to go up?  Will you have to make more and more cuts to your budget in other places?

High gas prices can affect all of us.  But there are things that you can do to dampen the affects.  Try driving a more fuel economical car.  Or, you could also improve your car’s fuel economy by using a good gas additive.  Either way, there are plenty of things you can do.   Do some research and decide what might be best for you!

According to USA Today, the current price of gasoline is not deterring people from making their planned trips this Thanksgiving.  In fact, they estimated that about 39 million people would be traveling for Thanksgiving this year, probably the largest Thanksgiving pilgrimage to date.

To me this is good news.  It means that even though the price of gasoline has risen, it still isn’t greatly affecting our way of life.  This could change in the future, but for now the prices are still at least manageable.  But you should still do all that you can to get the most out of the gasoline that you use on a daily basis.  The cost of travel can really go up as the cost of gasoline goes up.

Even though the high driving season is over, there are still trips that people are taking.  Whether it is a hunting trip, skiing trip, or any other type of travel, high gas prices are likely to stop people from taking these trips if the prices get to be too high.

There was a story today on Freep.com about a family in Michigan that is re-planning their hunting trip because it would cost them double what it cost them last year to haul their trailer for the trip.  So they are instead making the adjustment to travel to a closer location so that it won’t cost as much.

Are the higher gas prices affecting your plans?  With the prices going up, we all need to think of different things that we can do to increase gas mileage and save money on gas.

With the way things are going, the price of oil will probably be over $100 in the near future. But what does this mean to you? It doesn’t just mean higher gas prices, but higher prices for a lot of the things we buy as well.

For one, a lot of products use oil for their manufacturing process. The other effect that high gas prices will have on other consumer goods is that it will cost more for companies to deliver their products to the store. So look for another increase in overall prices because of that as well.

Now is the time to start to make some changes to the way you drive and the products you use to improve your gas mileage.  Start now to make some necessary changes, like using a good fuel additive to increase your fuel efficiency.

When the price of anything goes up, we either have to grin and bear it, find substitutes, or change our spending habits with that product.  Gasoline is a tricky one because you pretty much have to use it, and there aren’t many substitutes.  So, about the only option left is that you have to change your spending habits with that product.

So has the higher price of gasoline changed the way you spend your money?  If so, how?  Or if not, at what point would the price of gas make you change some spending habits?  All of us are affected in some way by the price of gasoline.  It doesn’t matter if you drive a gasoline powered car or a diesel powered car, you will still be affected.

The good news is that there are still things you can do to make your gasoline last longer.  You can use a diesel fuel additive if you drive a diesel vehicle.  You can use a gas additive if you drive a gasoline powered car.  You can change the way you drive and how much you drive.  What I’m trying to say here is that yes, there are a lot of things that are out of our control when it comes to the price of gas.  But there are other things we can each do that will make a difference in our own budgets.
