Switching from an F-150 to a Focus is like gasoline price dropping from $4.50 to under $2.50 under identical use.<BR/><BR/>People will find an independent way to commute which will be environmentally responsible too.<BR/><BR/>It is likely that prices on Oahu will be below $4 by November.Panos Prevedouroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252016102314067888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495236174238358146.post-86032433648518876402008-08-13T00:32:00.000-07:002008-08-13T00:32:00.000-07:00I have a hard time believing that cars and trucks ...I have a hard time believing that cars and trucks are more green than rail, considering that national environmental groups like the Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, etc, all endorse rail as good for environment and essential to energy savings.<BR/><BR/>And to me, even more compelling that that is the straight-forward economics of rail. Realistically, gas prices are never falling below $4.40 a gallon on Oahu. Now that the oil companies have the prices up, they will continue to squeeze us. Rail, the bus and even my newly purchased bike are a way to get around without paying through the nose at the pump. I don't see the point of building more roads when no one can afford to drive on them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
