We've been paying $3.35 or so. I hope it goes up to $5.

The point is not to "collapse" the economy. The point is

to force people to
change their driving and car purchase habits. That would

do it, according to
economists.



Do you ride a bicycle everywhere? Do you own a car?

Why are liberals so selfish?

You posted something incredibly stupid and I simply

reciprocated.


Your posts are always incredibly stupid.

I think large cities should be proactive on this issue

and legislate
that unless there is a specific reason for driving a pick

up truck
or SUV in the city, less than 3 occupants, etc, that

those vehicles
be disallowed (passing through on the xway not counting).


Lets take action on the REAL issue behind this and many

other issues
by severely limiting the number of children people can

have. Reduce
the world population by 50% and a lot of current problems

will simply
vanish along with the excess population.



Your Mom should be severely fined and punished for having
you.

Why not make everyone ride mopeds?

If more people rode mopeds, vespas, those scooter things, etc we'd
be better off. Europeans do, why shouldn't we?

Scotty, don't get too upset. This guy (or is it a woman?) is not worth
responding to, although you are correct of course.

That's an easy fix. It's called Weight Watchers.

I agree with Max.

Also, American's are simply big and can't fit in, and
won't buy, cars built for midgets.

Yeah, I've heard that, too. And I disagree.

Americans love big, consumptive vehicles (boats, airplanes, and
motorhomes as well as cars). All those fuel prices will do is put some
people in the poor house, shut down some small ma-pa businesses, convince
Daimler-Chrysler to import the Smart Car, and tank the economy while
causing inflation and interest rates to rise. But the total fuel burned
in this country won't change much, if at all.

Ethanol is a great alternative fuel, and almost inexhaustible. But Big
Oil has seen to it that it will never be readily accepted, at least as
long as the flow of crude is unimpeded, despite the cost.

?? I drive a Jeep, and I have three other cars. I'm willing to pay more or
pick smaller cars if that's what it takes. I don't often agree with Bushco,
and even though he's just pandering, I agree that America is addicted to oil
produced by countries who are hostile to us. We should let them eat their
oil by reducing our dependency.

Not for truckers. They (and other groups) should get a discount. It should
be $5/gal for regular drivers.
