Want to guess which sector of the American economy has been hit hardest by increasing fuel prices? Nope, not the airlines. Nope, not the individual car owner. Nope, not even Nascar. The biggest hit has been felt by the trucking industry which is the heart and soul and blood circulation of American commerce.

How bad is it for truckers and trucking companies?

Last week the national diesel fuel price average, as tracked by the U.S. Department of Energy, was $4.497, up 16 cents from a week earlier and $1.15 or 34 percent higher than the Jan. 1 price

Nearly 1,000 trucking companies filed bankruptcy petitions in the first quarter, up 21 percent from 2007's first quarter.

The impact on the nation and the global economy has ramifications which are severe, permanent and wide ranging. 3/4s of consumables are moved to the consumers in America by trucks. How else are you going to get lobster to Kansas for instance? . As a consequence, then, of the increase in costs for the trucking industry, just about everything else will have an increase in price beyond what it would be just accounting for inflation. Go to the supermarket and you will already see this impact. Food prices are being hit by inflation, the artificial scarcity brought on by the shift of growing crops for food to growing crops for energy and the increased costs for the truckers to move food to the supermarket shelves.

Another place where the impact is felt is highway fatalities. There are regulations that truckers are supposed to follow as to how long a duration they can be out on the road driving and how long that they have to rest in between shifts. Already, under more normal economic conditions, these regulations were routinely stretched. What is happening now, though, is that less financially stable trucking companies are going bankrupt which means that more load is having to be handled by fewer companies and less truckers. And also the profit margin for the truckers is being cut into by the cost of diesel which is rising faster than the government surcharges can compensate them for. So, in a very direct way, the increased price of diesel is costing lives right here in the USA. This is in addition to the lost lives due to biodiesel worldwide because of the shift from growing crops for food to growing crops for energy. Those number in the 10s of millions dieing from starvation and is a hushed up holocaust happening right now.

The havoc caused by the Bush administration and the Federal Reserve policies over the last eight years is going to be with us for decades. If we want to maintain anything close to the lifestyle that we have enjoyed in previous years then we need to get creative on the grassroots level with real solutions disseminated in the fastest way possible, which right now is the internet.

One such solution is Water4Gas.

is offering information for a nominal fee which car owners can use in their garage or wherever to put together a small device which instills hydrogen into the gas/air mixture that their car or truck runs on.

The process makes smaller particles out of the ones that the engine uses as fuel. So it gets to use much more of it.

With WATER4GAS you can reasonably expect to improve your gas performance by 30-50% or even more. Those goblets must have been pretty "blankin'" huge in some engines before. But with W4G they are made consumable so you can improve your gas performance.

It also helps make emissions substantially cleaner.

This information has been purchased by over 10s of thousands of individuals already and the percentage of happy customers is about 99%! So how about you?
