Its not just energy.

Plastic is a byproduct of oil too.

Dont wanna support the oil industry. give up all things plastic.

Now look around you and see how much stuff is made outof plastic.

Rinse and repeat.  It has been like that since 1974.

make up your mind that it is wrong to continue to use non replenishable forms of fuel and begin to press for alternative energy research and implimentation.

even speaking of it socially is a part of the solution as it sets things in motion eventually.

cause and effect.

skuzzy is right though...if we accept it, nothing will change...and most people dont like change.

So you spent over $20.00 for a tank of gas. I use diesel and when you buy about 250 gallons at a whack it really hurts. :eek: I do an internet search and look for the lowest prices in the areas we visit. It can save $20 to $40, enough for a dinner.

$1.99 here.

Prices always go up a month or two before the summer vacationing season starts.

Coincidence?

Here in crazy Illinois, price flucuates between 2.00 to 2.49.

So it's an extra dollar, just tell your kid to walk to practice, get him in shape. Or have your friends pick you up.

Thats what I do.

$6.50 / gal here. Quit whining.


Funny thing is you pay no more for a gallon of crude oil than we do... no taxation without representation is why we left the Island in search of our own little slice of the pie. :D

No, the pilgrims left England for other reasons, including religous. We fought for our independence with a main reason being no taxation without representation.

Saudi Arabia's oil minister, Ali Naimi, predicts that prices will be in the $40-$50 range for the foreseeable future; the futures market is suggesting that no relief is in sight from the $55 level; the Department of Energy agrees; David O'Reilly, CEO of ChevronTexaco warns, "The time when we could count on cheap oil...is clearly ending"; and there is talk on the street of $80 oil.

Quick questions


How many of you bought a car or truck in the last 4 years ?


Did ya care what the MPG was??


Most folks I know bought without careing

When I was 16 I was working for $2.30 an hour (min wage when I was in High School) and gas was right at $1.00 a gal. so I could buy 2.3 gal for an hour of work, my 68 Tempest got 10 MPG

Now how many gal. will an hour of the new min wage get you.


BTW I bought a 3/4 ton 4X4 this year but I did get a Diesel that gets around 18 mpg combined.

We will take it untill it hurts as long as we can still buy the stuff remember the gas lines of the 70's and the limits that you could buy.
