Yeah...We Americans call it gas, which is short for gasoline. Don't Brits call it petrol, or something?
Although places are near but still to get on time and due to hell lot of work I have to use my Bike(motorcycle)!!! Cant even think of bicycle.
Countries reported having lower OIL using rate by comparing with last year. I think it is good news. No OIL, good air.
I used to ride alone long way away from home each weekend. But I haven't been doing it for sometime. Maybe this will help too
we are already with you buddy, i am already using my bi-cycle for everyday travelling and has cut down on car travelling by almost 60% on daily basis
Gas/ Petrol (lol) is on the increase in terms of prices these days. So you could be saving so much more money in a few years to come And not just that but you're having a positive effect on global warming! YAY, LMAO!!!
I think most people are conserving just based on the cost of gas/oil right now. In some areas it just isn't possible to walk or ride a bike because of long distances from home to the places we are going. I walk when I can and try to go out and do all of my errands at the same time to save on gas. With the cost of gas going up continually, I think most people are doing this.
I bought a horse a few weeks ago and I ride that whenever I go to work. I park it in the handicapped spot in the garage.
Oil usage will continue decrease in 2009 and a forecasting about 10% lower usage comparing with the usage in 2007. In 2009 the new cars and new houses will tend to become smaller. The best news is electric vehicle by solar power energy will become more popular in the future. Less oil exhaust gas and more solar power energy. Less oil does the body good!
All you have to do is make a 5 yr. battery for cars like they do for watches and we'll all be driving electric cars. But I seriously think the oil companies would have you killed before they let you put it on the market.
Recently there has been news report about hybrid cars and electric cars. I hope they will be around soon so that we don't have to be largely dependent on fossil fuel anymore.
I plan to get myself one of those humanoid robot suits which was used by Iron Man and maybe reverse engineer it to work using solar energy
