jesus ***** fucking christ it was only a matter of time before some asshats jumped in and ruined the thread.
fuck YOU guys.

oh wait i forgot bush is GOD and controls everything about this country. Forgot we dont have a congress or anything.

yeah, let me hop on this bandwagon. **** bush!

i am not trying to ruin any threads dude, no need to call me an a$$ hole, i am a really nice guy, free beer at my house right now actually!

any ways, it all boils down to the fact that bush is the commander and chief of the armed forces (period). He can send our boys anywhere he wants to with out funding from congress. But when the soldiers get there congress has one of two choices to make; let the soldiers go unprotected and unfed or fund what ever bush (or any other president for that matter) wants them to. They choose to fund 99% of all wars for this reason. Now i am way to drunk to care about looking up stats right now, but try and find out how many gallons of crude oil production we have lost by essentially shutting down Iraq and becoming enemies with Iran; bet it correlates with ircrease in gas prices... i say if we shave the Bush we wont have this problem

TDI Jetta's get some sick mileage if I am not mistaken. It's a shame I was not in a position to get one when one became available on the local craigslist...

I really need to get my Mustang running. I am very confident I can get in the mid 30s on 40 year old technology.

Not much we really can do, except....................grin and bear it and cut back on other things. Me, I want to buy a motorcycle to commute back and forth to work, but not sure it will help, as A) I have to finance the bike most likely because I don't want to use my money I saved for the house. B) It rains like a bish in the State of Ohio, so will it really help? C)Fiance will kill me!

Gas here last week was 3.34 and went up to fawking 3.49 this week. Yeah, that is just great! Fawk it, lets see 3.69 next week! Assholeeeeeeeeeees!

Using premium FTL. It's ok though, I only use about an average 15 gallons a month.

F^ck Bush.............

You really know what is going on don't you. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

McCain is suggesting we drop the federal tax on gas.

That would be like putting a band aid on gun shot wound.

I actually think this is worse than the credit liquidity problem when it comes to fixing the recession.

I am of the opinion that it is only going to get worse. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

WOW... I wish I lived in your world.

I need to site down and run my numbers again. But, at one point in time it was cheaper for me to get premium. But, now I'm not sure. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Indeed...but I don't think people are willing to drive 55 and the various other measures that somewhat fixed the last round of gas shocks. The best solution is a conversion to alternative fuels and us (Americans) maintain discipline in the switch...ie don't run back to gas when OPEC increases supply and the price drops. Maintain the focus.

Not sure if the economy is getting worse. I think it will get worse for those in highly-cylical industries...We are at an interesting point in American history (aren't we always...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif)

That is the typical American attitudes theses days. "I want X but I'm not going to do anything to achieve it."

I TOTALLY agree about switching to new fuels. But, unless there are some serious changes in the way things are people aren't going to do anything about it.
