Oil Hits Record High, Hurting Nearly All

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

The base of most of this countries problem just punched us in the mouth again.

Oil prices marched past $103 a barrel on Monday, the latest in a recent string of record-high oil prices, before settling.

It's wise to invest in oil stocks or even in exploration

I personally don't drink much spring water but it's a good point and how much can we sell it for to oil producing countries

But have we stopped driving yet? have we protested yet? I haven't seen it happen.. boycott all gas stations for a week see what happens

I think most folks can't just quit driving all together. My family has 3 vehicles on the road 7 days a week. We have combined trips AMAP, car pool, and I down-sized my work vehicle. I'm now getting 10 more miles per gallon and saving 15-20 bucks a week over driving my truck to work every day. I keep my vehicles serviced regulary with new air filter and plugs when needed. I also keep my tires properly inflated. As far as a protest how do you go about that and get a lot of people involved to actually make an impact A lot of people like to complain about the prices but put forth little to no effort to help the cause.
