Nor will I after a VW Beetle blew its engine while driving flat-out on a
cross-country trip in 1968. Worst handling car I ever drove!

The Jetta? Base is around 20K. You will have a hard time trying to max up a
TDI and pay over 30k even with leather/gps/etc.
The benz diesel is of course a mercedes and is north of 50K

It's my understanding that the US imports most of its oil.

The last figures I recall were 40% domestic production, 60% import, with the
vast majority of those imports coming from Canada and Mexico.

Latest figures from the CIAs World Factbook site
(https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/) put the US
some way behind the UK in the production/consumption ratio.
US:
Oil-production: 7.61 million bbl/day (2005 est.)
Oil-consumption: 20.73 million bbl/day (2004 est.)

I stand corrected, but we're still taking about North
American oil not
OPEC/Arab/etc... which should not be as expensive as
some other
countries sources which was my point.

Yup, dunno why, but the older NAS boxen I have, the SNAP server, 2500 bucks
when new, RAID 5, four 80 gig drives, has always topped out at 33 Mbps
transfer rate over my network. The el-cheapo single-drive Hawking NAS I
have does the same thing. Both have IDE drives inside if that has
anything
The problem (as I understand it) is that oil gets set a price of $X no
matter where it comes from. I think this price is set by the people who
buy and sell oil as a commodity.
The only impact they feel is that the limo is a little more expensive to
run from month to month.
