I think one way to cut down on gas consumption is to simplifty our cooking as well as have other options such as microwave (which consumes electricity which could be cheaper).

It would be helpful if this redueces traffic on the roads, but I dont expect that happening - even if that happens things will sooner come back to normalcy.

After few days there will be two sections in the society one is rich and other is poor there were will be no middle class left

Common man has to pay the price for electing the government that he liked.
