Gas prices under $2.00 again. Did you wonder if you would ever see that again? It seems to me like things have picked up in our market here in Utah as well. I am receiving more calls on my listings, even have an offer in right now on a listing. How … (10 comments)
Sounds like a simple answer. Kind of like the old saying that "you are more likely to die in a car crash than a plane crash." Motorcycles are a great transportation method, especially with gas prices these days. Like everything else, the savings come with a risk. Below is a link … (3 comments)

After reading the papers and listening to the different news stations I wonder what is going to happen this coming winter. Some of the local towns are wondering how they will be able to help their residents get through the winter with the costs of fuel being high.
The ferry between Molokai and Maui is increasing its one-way fare to $68.40 the increase was due to the rising cost of fuel. The last fare increase was in 1995, and since then the price of diesel fuel has risen to $4.40 from $1 a gallon. spokesman at the sea link … (4 comments)

WOW! Here we are at the end of July and gas in Oklahoma City is averaging $3.48 per gallon! That's down $0.32 from the end of June, but it's $0.80 higher than 1 year ago.
The high price of gas is hurting everyone except the oil companies. Nobody wants to stay home all summer. This is high drive time and the chance for most families to get out on vacation. When I was a child, that meant road-trip! We drove everywhere: Florida, New Orleans, Kansas, New … (1 comments)

TIPS ON PUMPING GAS 
We all know that gas continues to go up straining our budgets. In the real estate business we put a lot of miles on our vehicles showing buyers around, checking on listings, and delivering paperwork.
We rely heavily on fuel in real estate to conduct our business. I don't know about you but I'm really tired of the daily price hikes! In an effort to keep prices down, there's a non-partisan coalition scheduling a gas out for the month, beginning on Sunday night. The KissMyGas Protest … (7 comments)

Hydrogen! You know, that perodic table substance that is easy to remember. It's also the first component in Water, and yes it's cheap, abundant and actually researchers have been tinkering with it for years.
Why isn't it being used in mass now? That's a really good question. I guess the simple … (1 comments)

It is my belief that until a profit can be made from it, there will never be an energy source we can use to get away from oil-based fuels. Existing technologies, such as fuel cells, wind, solar, ethanol, and bio-diesel have not the ability or potential to replace gasoline as a … (0 comments)
Everyday I hear gas prices will rise another few cents. Our genius president went to Saudi Arabia to ask for higher production so his oil buddies could make more money. The government still gives money for oil exploration. It is a FACT that fossil fuel is a non renewable energy and will … (11 comments)
Record heat and record gas prices yesterday made for an interesting combination. While I was not in Simi Valley for this stop, I was on empty and had no choice. Simi Valley was about 4 cents a gallon cheaper.
I had gas...
According to the U. S. Fire Administration (USFA) 36% of residential home fires are due to creosote buildup (a tar-like substance that sticks to the walls of a chimney when wood is burned) in chimneys and stovepipes. That adds up to 26,000 fires, 137,000 million dollars in property damage and 60 … (1 comments)

I was cleaning out my Yahoo mail and came across this article that was posted today. Have I been missing something? Here is the article...I heard on the radio driving home today that fuel can go as high as $150 per barrel. People we need to stand up together and protest … (17 comments)
I was watching CNN news this week and there was an interresting story on a new source of fuel. The same algae that forms pond scum can be turned into a fuel. This technology already exists. Before you go out and dam up the creeks on your property to form ponds … (4 comments)
"Housing market continues to fall", read the headline yesterday on the money page of the local newspaper. It was an AP article discussing the situation nationwide.

Thanks to the warmer weather the market is moving. Signs are going up and so are the buyer's interest. Shelby county Ky has cheaper fuel prices than all other areas near Louisville, $3.19 a gallon. That sounds so ridiculous since it was a dollar chaeper last year. Where or where does … (2 comments)

I sometimes wonder where the spirit of America has gone? Has accountability given way to apathy? Have Americans decided to go softly without a whimper? Have we lost the message of our patriotic past and heritage? It seems that way! Challenging the status quo, liberty, the ability to embrace change, and … (30 comments)

Below are some useful tips I received for getting the best value at the pumps.
I heard an economists mention the other day that the basis of the American (system of wealth distribution) economy was no longer oil but instead the silicon chip. Does that suggest that the energy needs of the nation have declined? No. Just that oil production is no longer a primary driver … (0 comments)
Can you imagine shopping for anything these days without using your computer? It seems ridiculous to think that shopping, communicating, traveling, banking, finding old friends, finding a job, or just about anything in the world these days works without using a computer. How did the we ever survive? I tried to encourage my son … (3 comments)

All we hear these days since Al Gore's movie, "Inconvenient Truth", is about saving the Earth by Going Green.
