    Anyone concerned with the rising gas costs..

    Today it went up from £1.35 (around $1.75) to £1.50 per litre ($2)

    CRAZY OR WHAT!

    Use Public Transport or something which is fuel efficient.
    If using cars then buy Hybrid ones.

    That should motivate you to earn more money then, hybrid doesn't really save that much. The only reason you by hybrid now is a status thing PLUS you reduce carbon footprint, not saving gas money. I could care less and I'm planning to buy a V8 powered car in a year or so.

    We're all looking into Electronic Cars and all but having big battery packs on a car only add to manage the enviroment.
    Where did all the Hydrogen Powered Car projects go?.......... We need a better alternative.

    Nobody can do anything, just enjoy the rising prices.

    Yes the oil prices are rising and it has been increasing daily since the middle east revolution began. I think governments all across the globe should find out a way to reduce the prices as due to that food prices are rising too..

    There is nothing to do, the prices are rising because petrol is slowly finishing.

    Maybe you need to try vehicle based on electricity, like electric motorcycle.
