Catherine Rossi Quotations

We're saying that we're disturbed by the numbers we are seeing.

When we see gas prices going up to where they are now with no clear end in sight, people reconsider their options.

If we each try to conserve gas, collectively we can reduce the demand for gas.

Transportation costs are imbedded in everything we do.

We know oil companies are pocketing record profits. We believe it would be prudent for oil companies to take their record profits and use them to invest in alternative sources of energy.

We are seeing gas prices drop dramatically. Thirty states are below $3, compared to 17 last Monday.

We'd like to know why prices are not declining in line with the national average.

Why is the price of gasoline higher in our region? We have no clear answer.

We expect our fourth consecutive summer of record-high fuel prices.

Every five miles over 60 mph is like adding a dime to the cost of a gallon of gas.

Contrary to popular belief, our research suggests that men are just as likely to stop to ask for directions as women are.

Sometimes it takes a crisis to make people think of their driving habits and vehicles.

People planned to drive less and expected to change their driving habits. They figure out ways to make vacations happen.

Oil companies are responsibly reflecting the public?s outcry at the pump over gas prices. We have not seen this phenomenon before -- prices dropping this rapidly.

August is the heaviest driving month of the year. A lot of it has to do with the number of people taking family vacations.

This is the first time we?re saying something like this because we haven?t seen this kind of increase before. We know there?s no shortage of crude oil right now. Oil inventory data shows there is more oil available now than a year ago.

As we learn more and more about the teenage brain, which tells us that teenagers brains are not fully developed, and that might be part of the reason why they are prone to take more risks and not make good, sound judgement calls, and it may simply be because part of their brains have not fully developed. And there was a study done at Temple University that goes into greater detail on that.

It's going to get worse before it gets better.

Crash rates are much higher when teenagers travel together. In 2004, a little more than half of all crash deaths involving 16-year-old drivers occurred when they had teen passengers in the vehicle.

They aren't going to go down as fast as they went up.

Being lost doesn't always have to be a bad thing. After all, when Columbus got lost, he discovered America.

All of these factors are being reflected at the pump.
