i live in st. louis, mo...i can't drive to or from work without having to make a evasive manuever to avoid a wreck.now, this is the weird thing..st. louis drivers come in number 1 in the "freindliest drivers" catagory in the country yet the insurance industry has deemed us as the "worst drivers" in the country..(the insurance folks are very smart folks btw and statistics tend not to lie..)...is it possible that the implementation of "road rage" laws which discourages any sort of verbal confrontation between drivers may actually be detrimental to getting people not to drive like savages?

Ok i was thinking... if the american people would instead of not buying gas on a monday or any other day like so many people have been trying to put into play, why dont we just boycott one gas company? this way we still get our gas whenever we want, but the one company we boycott will not sell any gas. And if that company doesn't sell gas they will be forced to lower prices. Then after that one company is forced to lower prices the other gas companies will have to follow suit, because they will begin to lose the consumer to the company we are going to boycott. If this makes sense to anyone else please let me know. Then Give me your opinion. I am going to Pick SHELL as my company to boycott who's with me

How soon does anyone think the gas prices will come down. and i mean down to a resonable price that people can afford to live comfortably again. this is taking a tole on alot of people and it is down right killing us financially. so many people i know cnat hardly afford to take there kids on outings on the weekends cause they have to save the gas they have for the week days for work. this is so sad.

Eastern Panhandle is making WV Route 9 wider. Making it a 4 lane highway from Berkeley Springs, WV to the VA boarder. Since Northern VA will not approve the road, there will be a bottle neck once you get to VA.

Route 9 has been the subject of considerable debate. West Virginia is constructing a four-lane expressway by-pass of the current Route 9 - a winding two-lane rural road - to U.S. Route 340 in Charles Town. The expressway will end at Route 9 at the Virginia state line [1]. Upgrading Route 9 in Loudoun County is opposed by local groups that want to preserve the rural feel of Western Loudoun by limiting traffic and thereby also limiting growth.

Limiting traffic, it is more like control. Because the traffic is there. the road is maybe 20miles long on the VA side, which should take about 20mins. But in the mornings it could take about an hour on that road.

Everyone wants to live in WV due to cheaper living and they work in VA due to higher paying jobs.

Come on someone my hubby is sitting alongside me as I learn to drive. What do we do at the traffic lights? Do I put the handbrake on, get my biting point then relese my handbrake with the orange light or do I do something else? can't find any advice online or in the Highway code. And yes I will have some driving lessons before I take my test so I know I haven't inherited any of his bad habits but I would quite like to be doing it right in the first place!! Thanx

I do not think it's dangerous to coast downhill in neutral, (some people say you have better control and can hit the gas if necessary) but i drive a 4 cylinder and have very little power in 5th gear, if i wanted more, i would have to downshift, if i'm in neutral already, then I am half way there already. Gas mileage while coasting is dependant on terrain, if i travel on a rather hilly terrain, i would normally get around 32 mpg with no coasting, if i coast down hills, on the same road (say it is 50 miles) i get around 60 mpg. I don't get where people say there isn't much difference. My next question is, (well say i'm in 5th gear, going 60..and i'm getting ready to go down a hill, i let off the gas, and the moment i do this, i can pull the stick out of gear and into neutral and not have to put in the clutch, and it does this very smoothly, if the rpms are just right..but i still have to put the clutch in if going back into gear) is this bad on the clutch?

So I work 11 miles from home, and the last 4 miles of the trip is all uphill. In addition, No buses service the last 4 miles of the trip either. I have to be at work each day by 7:00am. I live in Huntington Beach, a suburban city in Southern California in which there is no light rail or subway to be found.

I have been riding a motorcycle to do this, but wonder if there are more effective or environmentally friendly ways? I rode my bicycle once or twice but I felt fatigued the rest of the day. I walked the last 4 miles a few times but it takes wayyy too long.

There was the one day boycott of gas on or around May 15. I dont think it put a dent toward the overall goal of lowering gasonline prices. So out of curiosity what do you think would be the most effective way to boycott gasoline. Below are some things to have in mind before you answer:

- If there is a 1 week boycott - What will people use to get to work (Commuters traveling long distance 1+hrs).
- I think that if people were on board with this, the first thing they are going to do is go to a gas station and fill up there vehicles ultimately putting big smiles on the evil oil companies.
- How will this effect the economy. If the overall goal is successful gasoline prices will drop. But what are some
dis-advantages if any?
- Can a Gas Boycott be advertised?
The yearly trend for gasoline prices is: Spring Prices will rise just a bit; Summer Prices Skyrocket; Fall prices will drop just a bit. Enough for the customer to breathe a sigh of relief, and then the trend will continu
