some of us are self employed.  those of us that are just might have the ability to raise the prices they charge for goods and services.  some or our businesses might be heavily pertoleum dependant.  we pass those costs on to the consumers.  the consumer always foots the bill.  it's better to be a producer even if it's only a small producer, at least your not a full time nothing but consumer consumer.

In the U.S., I`m sure it can expect along and profitable following.

First, who is Nuke?

Secondly, Mr Big, how many poor people buy $15,000 new cars?  Don't poor people usually buy used vehicles?

can you give me a "normal american" car so we can compare the ENcap ?

Yes, but that E85 stuff seems to be taking off - and I've heard it even yields more energy than the same volume of petrol/gasoline.

Nice avatar, by the way. The only two I ever had were Animals, and DSOTM - which I've had on vinyl, editor's master recording on vinyl, cassette tape, and CD!

Agree on the E85, but I'm not too sold on it.  I work for Ford and they are not as serious as GM.   But DCX (Daimler-Chrysler) is worse than Ford.  They are getting Premium gas prices for E85 and this is still helping Oil companies.  

As for the Pink Floyd, PM me, I should have me PC back next week from Cyberpower.  My "Media HD" is at home and would be more than willing to accommodate you.

Continuing nukes rational regarding the purchase of this car.

If only poor people are buying this car to save I suppose only poor people are buying fake grass to save water. Since he services only poor people I think you should acceed to nukes superior knowledge of poor people.

tahe the Chevy Malibu or something like that.... typical mid-sized car, a honda accord would fit the bill too. that would be about the average size.
