Read the stars, guys, we are getting screwed! The oil companies have been crying for years that oil prices are way behind inflation. I say, so what! I thought the idea was to keep inflation down in the first place. The Government needs to include fuel and food in the inflation indicators. Of course, if they do prime interest rates would be at 50% or more by now! We have plenty of alternatives to gas and battery....so why not use them? We all know why. I think if this keeps up, and I see no reason for it not too(with the oil companies' and Arab greed....can you say jihad in disguise), we will see a flood of small companies offering conversions to anything from chicken manure to corn flakes. BTW. Our new piece of crap Governor just signed a 9.5 cent increase in our state gas taxes......highest in the US......again! OH......$6.00 per carton increase for cigarettes, $6.00 per gallon booze, reinitiated the only estate taxes, and a whole lot more. We really need that right now! Sorry....had a senior moment and had to get that out. My fixed income will go up about $2.50 a month. Chris, you're right....I will not do math in class............................
