Oil Prices rise above $115

It may indeed soon be time for a hybrid vehicle; electric cars, hydrogen car, or my personal favorite a bicycle may be the better option all together. Gas prices are getting so high it just doesn’t matter how much gas mileage your car can get or how fuel economy it might be, when your paying high gas prices, as we are it just doesn’t really matter. I can foresee very soon if it is not already taking place that when you go to a bank to get a car loan there is going to more restrictions on what type of vehicle you can buy. Less face it, would you buy an 8 cylinder car? I can tell you I wouldn’t, in fact I would not buy a 6 cylinder right now or in the future. You might be lucky to get me in a 4 cylinder. I am going to buy for my next car something that is a hybrid car, electric car, or something that is a different fuel source then gasoline. If I am thinking that way I cannot help but think big business is worried about that, like the gasoline companies and gas stations for example. However I think it will go much deeper than that, if you do not think banks are going to turn you down for something like this, then think again. Even if you can afford it, I still think they will not give you the loan for gas guzzling SUV’s and bigger cars. Disagree with me you might, but ask yourself this if your son or daughter came to you and wanted you to cosign for a loan and it was an 8 cylinder SUV, what would you tell him/her with the skyrocketing gas prices. Unless you are clueless we know what you are going to tell them.

So the way I see it, we are going to have a whole lot of gas guzzling cars, all new and shinny going to the graveyard long before their time, with no one to buy them cause no one will be able to afford the cost to drive them. The thing about the high gas prices is it has actually done some good in Canada and U.S. it has made people over here, get there head out of the sand and realize that the effects of global warming are starting to effect us. It was of no big concern when poor people in some small distance country was starving or were affected by a water shortage. All of sudden everyone is now interested in doing something about the environment. I guess when people in North America have their life’s aggravated by high gas prices it. Well, that is a crying shame that now they may have to walk or take the bus. It is really understandable that they would be so upset, after all it is not like there drinking contaminated water, and getting one handful of rice a day to feed them and their families. Kind of makes you wonder what will happen when the price of food doubles this year. What will happen to all the obese related deceases that North America is so accustom too? I am not saying it is a good thing, I am just saying that we do not take one look at some poor country or give one ounce of care until it starts to hurt our pocketbooks, or threaten our materialistic way of life we all so love and enjoy. We are very happy to sit back and lavish ourselves while the rest of the world starves. So if it takes high gas prices to get this through Canadians and Americans thick skulls, then so be it.
