1. Prices of gas-Prices of gas around the world are fluctuating from high to low, here are the current prices of gas in some areas around the world.
a) U.S.-3.10
b) U.K.-5.30
c) Germany-3.81
d) Japan-3.84
e) Switzerland-4.56
f) Canada-1.90
g) Mexico-2.21
h) Country in South America-Venezuela- .14 cents a gallon
i) 2 Countries in Middle East- Russia- 1.45
China-1.54
It seems that one of the most expensive areas to buy gasoline at the moment is in the United Kingdom. The United states does not seem to be at the height of the gas prices, in fact it seems that we are closer to the medium of all the other countries. Venezuela seems to have the lowest price, possibly because the are able to gather their own fuels.
2. Alternative Fuel Sources-Fossil fuels are not our only source of powering our vehicles, and hopefully will not be the only source of powering our vehicles, other sources like biodeiesel are our alternatives, some are more cost effective, while others are healthier for our planet.
A.) Biodeiesel- Domestic produce, renewable resource, manufactured from vegetable oils, animal fats, recycled restaurant grease. It’s safe, biodegradable, and reduces serious pollutants that are in the air we breath and the atmosphere
B.) Electric-Battery electric, and fuel cell vehicles, electric vehicles (EVs) use stored energy from batteries. Fuel cells us electricity from electrochemical reactions when hydrogen and oxygen are combined.
C.)Ethanol- alcohol based, alternative fuel produced by fermenting and distilling starch crops that have been converted into simple sugars. Corn, barley, and wheat. Cellulose biomass is another. Also from trees and grasses, called biothanol.
D.)Methanol-Wood alcohol, flexible fuel, vehicles that run on m85(blend of 85% methanol and 15% gasoline) however is not commonly used because automobile manufactures do not produce them anymore, or supply methanol powered vehicles.

Many experts agree that high gas prices will eventually lead to innovation in fuels and a cleaner environment

Gas prices have been going up rapidly recently, and the price of a barrel of oil is higher than anyone could have predicted. If the United States does not adopt sensible energy policies, and environmental reforms, there's no telling what might happen.

In the state of New Jersey gas prices find themselves under the three dollar mark, but in other countries such as Malta, people are paying as much as five to six dollars a gallon. What can we do to help cut back on our consumption?

They're at it again-the politicians who want to blame everyone but themselves for the high price of gas at the pump. An inability for politicians to blame themselves is part of the problem causing high gas prices.

Escalating gas prices will force some people to make
choice about what to buy and what not to buy. It may
make some rely on a budget which was largely absent in
the past
