Fuel Prices, controls the cost of your living.

Gas prices are way down in the USA,I do not see that happening here any time soon.

If you want to save car gas money all year round!

1. Take your foot of the gas pedal going down hill.

2. Accelerate slowly from a stop.

3. Fill your tank to 3/4s why burn gas to carry gas.

4. Remove unnecessary weight from your vehicle.

5. Increase your listed critical tire pressure by 2 LBS.

5A. Check tire pressure every two weeks to reduce rolling resistance.

6. Change to synthetic engine oil.

7. Avoid the “heavy foot” going up steep hills.

8. Avoid long engine idle periods.

9. look after your vehicle as if it were the last one you will ever own, attend to all maintenance schedules.

10. Air conditioning burns additional fuel. You know that one !

11. You may wish to slow down especially on corners to reduce tire wear.

12. Every one, save a life !enjoy the ride ! .Please slow down, No more road death.

13. Drive with precision.

14. Avoid collision, drive defensively.

Nothing to do with any Political Party – People are just out looking for a good deal!
Shopping Bermudians and Business owners have figured out its better to buy here if a good deal is offered
other than spending money on a $350 Airline Ticket and $350 on Hotel abroad – thats and average of
$700 before the shopping starts.- this started some 6 years ago – it’s just that its popularity has gained momentum.

Well, in theory, at that point you’d actually be first in line then… once having been last in line…

The difference is that when you buy locally, some of that money stays in the local economy. The people who are employed locally then in turn can support you by buying your products or services, and keeping you employed. Amazon won’t.

Who cares what they’re buying? It’s they’re money—not yours. I salute the customers braving the lines *and* the business owners and employees working hard from 4AM (and earlier).

Love seeing entrepreneurial spirit in Bermuda. I’m only too glad Black Friday has come to our shores and that it is such an event.

It’s all relative, that money ends up leaving the island anyway when the stores by product from foreign companies.

It is all the PLPs fault. People don’t have the monee to be off on quick shopping trips. Well…that & the airlines make things less than worthwhile for taking shopping trips with bag weight reduction to 50# & charging for bags. Next they will be charging to use the air vents.
