Default Gas prices .. some good news

Gas your pigs up while you can. Not gonna tow Cruis'n Rulz! to the pump.
Gonna just get 5 gal at a time and fill her up at home. Don't expect the
prices will hold till next spring. If you wait, you might just find it
back to $4

When Bush first took office the national average price for a gallon of
regular gas was $1.46.

Today, eight years later, regular is selling around here for about
$2.21/gal. In some places, like Cleveland, Ohio, the price has dropped
below 2 bucks/gal.

Not bad for 8 years.

Nice job, W.

Nobody likes a spoilsport.

You're gonna give "O" some ideas of things to raise taxes on in order to
force you to
buy an oversized golf cart which is what he's gonna force Ford, GM and
Chrysler to build if they want a bailout.

Heaven forbid U.S. car makers produce mostly high quality, smaller, fuel
efficient cars that people want to buy and dump most of the oversized,
overpowered, mediocre quality V8's behemoths that get 13 mpg. Or less.

Again, you get it wrong. If the vast majority of people wanted to buy
smaller, fuel efficient cars,
Detroit would have been be turning them out by the millions for years.

That may change (and it should), but the point is .... Detroit builds what
people buy.

Ford and GM took a look at trying to compete with Honda, Toyota and
Nissan in the small, efficient cars ten years ago. They were
completely unable to compete because of the labor cost in their
vehicles compared to their competion, thanks to the UAW.

Their only way to make enough money to continue to meet the finacial
obligation forced on them by union labor was to continue to build high
profit SUVs and trucks. Now that that's over, the UAW slobs with
barely a high school education living on easy street may have to
tighten their belts to allow the auto makers to survive. Heh.. will
that happen? Of course not... the unions say screw everyone else, we
got ours!

Look at the vehicles from Honda, Toyota and Nissan. They are big, just like
the Detroit iron. The Sequoia is as big as a full size Chevy Tahoe or
Expedition. I think the Nissan Titan looks bigger than my 3/4 T Chevy
diesel truck. The difference is about $39 an hour labor costs. About $80
for the Big 3 vs. $41 for the imports. Mostly in retiree and medical costs
for the retirees. The imports have not been here long enough to build up a
large retirement force. As well as the union negotiated pay for no work.
GM has about 12,000 on a job bank program. Full pay for 10 years of no
work. Let the Big 3 go bankrupt. Happens to lots of companies when they
fail to compete. They will not go away, someone else will take over. The
retirees will get screwed and may get less money, but they will just need to
share the wealth.

No, Fox would never say "what people don't what to buy." That doesn't
make sense even from a "professional writer".
