I agree, our nation
has not been conservative when it comes to our petroleum resources, perhaps
even flaunted or wasted them in the past and present. On the other hand
there have been a lot of innovations over the years that would have provided
much better gas mileage, or even taken the place of some of the gas usage only
to have the companies bought out by the large petroleum companies and put out
of business. I have experienced this with what used to be two different
customers I had prior to their being bought out and closed down. I
remember because I had to take back a lot of product back from them and had to
pay back the commissions.
The petroleum
companies are going to do everything they can to slow the introduction of
anything that will reduce the gas usage in this country and their
profits. Big money wants even more money and we can do very little about
it by ourselves.

Anybody
else out there seen the Honda (gasp!!) natural gas powered car that you can
fill up at home? Cheaper power and save time not going to the gas station, not
to mention it will be easier on the waist if you're like me and have to have a
snickers bar with every fill up too!
That's
the kind of car GM needs to make or get the fuel cell cars to market sooner.
That will be the only good thing about the increased gas cost.
I
think we brought these cost on ourselves as a nation by not being more
conservitive, such as SUV's being used as commuter
cars.

Yep
put the money in the chevelle! It cost me $45 bucks to fill my 67
Malibu yesterday, but it
gets pretty good gas mileage.
