Great fuel saving ideas

[jbach36]

I read the post about fuel costs, and man, they are really getting outta hand, with diesel at like, $3.79/gallon.

Here's some thing you can do to help reduce demand.....

1) I just wrote a few congressmen. I'm advocating each county make their own biodiesel for fleets, like school buses. I mean, it costs like what, $1,000 to get set up to make biodiesel, and in bulk, they can make it for 70 cents per gallon. If a county has 100 school buses running 5 days a week, this is a very, very sensible idea. We're reducing the money we're sending to Saudi Arabia, and our air will be cleaner.

2) Telecommute. Why do thousands of people go to work .... so they answer phones or be on the computer in a cubicle? Employers an save TONS of money on not leasing space. They can direct the calls to the employees homes. No expenditures on fuel, employees are more rested, less stressed out, and happier. It's a win-win-win.

3) Write your congressman. As it stands now, people are required to go to court, for stupid reasons, like traffic court, to say one of 3 things: guilty, not guilty, or No Lo Contendre. Even drunk drivers are required to show up. And they DRIVE to get there, whether they lost their license or not. The legal system enjoys being in power and telling people, "You are required to show up in court". ....Have them use the TELEPHONES.

4 ) Carpool

Thanks for listening.
