This is old news... it was on NPR radio over a week ago when Algeria and
Iran lead OPEC to cut production by 2.5 million barrels per day by April 1.
I think the solution is to USE 2.5 million barrels per day less. That
means more efficient cars AND boats! One more GOOD reason to upgrade to
a 4 stroke! To thumb your nose to OPEC.

And another thing that NO ONE brings up is our dependency on
plastic. More oil is used for plastic than fuel

gas prices are going up because the dollar is falling in relation to the Euro
(US interest rates are way to low to attract Euros when at pariety) and oil is
priced in US dollars.

You wanna bitch about the price of gas or about how much money you made on your
house appreciately due to low interest rates. Your choice.

plastic. More oil is used for plastic than fuel
