Oil dependancy may be a thing of the past....

Just not going to happen Angus................but you are free to bite if you wish.

You mean you found infinite oil supplies?
In short, if you're well on the dollar side, you can keep your gusslers going forever.

Oil is last on the list of things to run out of and wring your hands.

So if i hear a rustling of paper, that would be the sound of $50 bills blowing out of jackal's exhaust pipe.

Could you please explain what you mean there?
(And while you're at it, wring your own hands )

who here would be shocked and feel betrayed if we found an oil reserve that was bigger than any found so far?

Not shocked or betrayed. Surprised, maybe. My reaction to learning that we'd found such a large reserve of oil would be to wake up and switch on the coffee.

I can recall the 1973 Oil Embargo and being told then that the remaining oil supply was limited and that we would run out. We still haven't run out, yet we still hear that the remaining supply is limited and oddly enough......the time frame for when we will run out has remained essentially the same.

[Napoleon II]

True enough, Elfie. But new reserves were discovered since 1973. The high price of post 1973 oil made exploration of new fields cost effective, when it might not have been before.

We have had this scam ran on us on just about everything from tea to toilet paper.
Old Brownie will be fired up when the urge hits just as always.

You sound like you fixin to take a dump

LOL, sure go to the next gas station. The problem won't be finding gas, but finding gas that you can afford!

In 2005, the price of crude oil passed $70 a barrel (29 August). Just this year (17 March) it peaked at $111.80 a barrel. That's an increase of 60% in 2 years 7 months.

I'm noticing guys in other threads dumping the guzzlers and considering alternative cars/fuels. Not hard to see why. Guess it's not so cool to guzzle gas after all.

I've got an excursion... and I ain't dumping it.  I didn't buy it because it was "cool."  It's useful, it serves (and will continue to serve) it's intended purpose.

Hey, no problem! You're paying for the gas! 

[texasmom]

Exactly! If I thought that it WAS a problem, I'd dump it.  So, if someone is willing to keep their SUV's, who are y'all to ridicule them for paying for the expensive gas? It ain't like y'all are paying for it.

*rolling my eyes*

but wait till they all start a-moanin and a-hollerin!

Why not skip through all of your delight about it & just make a point.
