I have the vaguest memories of Presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter trying

I've not seen any aspect of the petrol industry that makes me believe
anything it claims or says. I don't for a New York Minute believe any
of
the b.s. it or its accountants put forth as statements on the amount or
percentage of profit the industry "earns." Those books are cooked 1000
different ways.

We're going to be marking time until we have a new President and
Congress, one that is willing to really take on the difficult issues,
stop lying to the American public, and put the future of the majority
of
people in this country first.

All Bush is going to be able to do from now until January 2009 is
quack.


It's all Henry Ford's fault.

No doubt. So, what's the mileage on that 18-cylinder BMW, anyway? :}

Average of about 15 mpg. All things considered, that's not too bad for a
500 hp V10 and a 4012 lb vehicle. It's been slowly going up, although I only
have 1800 miles on the car.
