If you'ld just get gas every other day, it wouldn't cost you more than 5 or 6 bucks.

I didn't really look at the price.

I did my usual '2 packs and the rest on 2', and throw a 20 on the counter. 10 bucks gas more or less.

Jumped in the truck, fired it up and it looked like the needle moved BACKWARDS at first.

Then I looked.  :sad3:

maybe it's time to re-examine the wisdom of pissing away $2T  in eeeerak  for a few yellow magnetic ribbons and chest-thumping , instead of investing in a fair amount of research in biofuels, sustainable/renewables, non-convential production (shale, tar sands, coal liquefaction), and other novel technologies such as fusion (ITER, etc) , non-rare metal fuel cells, etc.


nah.

as much as $3 or $4 / gallon   will hurt my disposable income and so forth,  if thats what it takes to wake up the 290M+ morans in this country,  so be it.

Unfortunately I think it will have to get higher than that for a lot of people. Never underestimate the power of morans in large groups.
