Gas Price Hikes
Use alternative methods
The roller coaster ride of gas prices has been going on for more than a decade. The gas companies blame the government for taking too much, the government blames the gas companies for charging too much, all while a small number of people get rich all over the world that control the market.
How does one make sense of all of this?
Gas prices are linked to the news. Every day, they change, and usually not for the better. A hurricane hits and the gas prices go up. Another country is invaded - even though the oil is secured - the gas prices go up. Plastics are made out of oil, hence increasing the price of just about everything because, the transportation, packaging, and factories make too many products out of plastics. Notice how glass has been replaced for the most part? That’s another topic.
Most people in North America drive to work, or take transportation. This is required because of the vast size of the continent and the cities that are there. It’s essential in the north, because it’s very tough to walk an hour in temperatures that can dip well below freezing. The people that have shares in the oil companies, own the oil - or work closely with the companies - like the governments do, are well aware of that.
When you drive by a gas station, a large sign is visible with the price, which rarely goes down. Like the news, the numbers they charge is almost always bad news, designed to keep you in a negative state of mind, and to ensure the start of your day (who doesn’t drive by a gas station on the way to work) starts on a negative note. There are times during the day that the price fluctuates for no apparent reason. It may start at 119 a litre, and drop to 114 a litre, and then on your way home from work, jump back up to 119 a litre (gallons in the United States). There is a pattern to gas prices, and as mentioned above, it’s linked to the news and keeping you frustrated.
Using the weekend as an example; the price that was at 119 a litre during the week, is suddenly at 123 a litre. What does the weekend mean to the average person? It means leisure time, being with the family, going on a trip, visiting family in a different city, going to the cottage or shopping. Now, with their hike, they not only extract more money from your
pocket, but they do so when you have served their society for the last week. This is their repayment to you. To ensure you go into the weekend, knowing that whatever you do, the price just went up, thus usually upsetting the consumer, all while lining their pockets.
How does one rise above this?
There are some practical tips, such as; get a more fuel efficient car (despite the fact that all the car companies are still marketing and advertising large vehicles), if you have two cars, sell one and take public transportation, drive a bicycle, walk, or car pool with friends, boycott the large gas stations, and go to the locally operated ones not owned by the big companies (because the large companies set the prices), or move downtown, or closer to your work.
With the above ideas in mind, it’s also a good idea to remain in a positive, grateful state of mind, even when you are pumping expensive gas. Be grateful that the gas is there, and that you have a car to drive. When you drive by, ignore their gas station number signs unless you require gas. Listen to relaxing music, and raise your vibration level as you do so.
Life is an act, this is but one part of the act, and so make sure you are as happy as you can be going forward. Before you know it, the gas prices may go on the decline, and alternative ways of transportation will start to appear.
