It lies with the people in America who insist on buying cars that on the highway dont even get 20 mpg. Who needs an h2? No one does. There are many cars out there that get great gas mileage, that, should people realize they do not need gas guzzling cars, could help with gas prices. i would love to see gas go to five dollars a gallon, then laugh when people who think that suvs are the best thing, cant drive them anymore. 6 bucks a gallon, I wish....

Have fun with your trains

Under the next administration it went to $13 and we know what the economy did during those years. To be fair, there was a big jump during the LBJ years. Different party, same state?

It took 60 years to get into this mess, and will take 50 or more to get back out. Mac Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts $60 a barrel for oil? Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, June 21, 2005 3:55 AM Probably will hit that mark today..... Read this link- http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/050620/oil_prices.html?.v=34 Everyone is pumping as much as they can, and the price keeps going up because demand is up 3 percent from last year in America, and the market is worried about refining capacity. On top of this is that Norway may be cutting 1 million barrels a day of world production by a strike..... There is instablity around the world to play our oil cards this close to the vest, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out we should expand our refining capacity.... Its time to cut consumption, or pay the piper..... $3 a gallon for gas is right around the corner..... Reply Edit 12 Join our Community! Our community is FREE to join.
