Hey JJ,
I dislike them all equally but I think Obama will be there if Clinton doesn't steal the nomination.

We imported over 400,000 barrels of oil in Jan. Omly 71,000 of those came from the Persian Gulf. Less than 1/2 came from OPEC countries.Over 80,000 barrels came from Canada and over 40,000 from Mexico. We import from over 60 world countries. We have our own oil but thank the tree huggers for our not taking it. Even if we were pumping our oil, we don't have the refineries to handle it and the oil companies sure won't build new refineries NOW, with the harpies taking food out of the mouths of children to make another fuel. http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/pet/pet_move_impcus_a2_nus_ep00_im0_mbbl_m.htm (hope this works)

Gas is reportedly already above $4.00/gallon in some places.
Don't this make you wish for another 4 years of Bush and his good republican friends who love oil? Are you ready for McCain another Bush Term?
Please remember that Al Gore wanted to slap an additional 50 cent per gallon tax on gasoline. I'm pretty sure I can live without any democrat wanting to stick his or her hand deeper into my pocket.
I am amazed that you think it is ok for the price of gasoline to go sky high partly because of the policies of the current administration, and all that money go to the oil companies, but you would resent a relitavely small tax to which would go to finding our way out of this mess.
Your logic (or lack therof) just amazes me !

I think you're right on the money. If Obama gets elected as president what changes do you think we will see?
CAFE standards are a joke! the A stands for average, so the neon, aveo, and focus are supposed to offset the full size trucks. if they would focus on the truck/suv standards, it would actually make a difference. fuel efficiency for small cars isn't the problem. the gargantuan SUV with one occupant is.quote:Originally posted by excelman:
If my car can get that, maybe the new CAFE standards Congress is trying to get thru is too soft on the car makers. After all , my car is 12 years old !

I had to go to Nashville today on business, and filled up at WalMart $3.49/gal. Got to Lawrenceburg and noticed it was $3.42 up there.
Stayed on 60, and filled up when I got back to Lawrenceburg. 34.2MPG ! not too bad for that Buick!

So when it's a republican president, it's his fault, but when it's a democratic president, it's the congress' fault?
Sorry, but I'm pretty sure it's the consumer's fault. Why do people keep buying 9mpg H2s?

Then if it is that dreadful of a future for oil, we should reduce/eliminate our dependency upon it.

It will eventually run out!!! We can hoard all the oil we can find, but eventually it will run out. It is not a renewable resource.
