well this is from the same city who, when catches you speeding or running a red light, takes your picture and mails you a bill.
saying nothing about the person who might be actually criminally responsible for it (your sister or mother borrows your vehicle for instance)
cops who now don't have to pull cars over, should have the time to reduce city crime to absolute zero. HA! ::)

EDIT: Not to mention, the folks in Europe and much of the rest of the world will probably yell at us soon for our super cheap $3.50 gallons :)

heard on the radio yesterday the highest price found in the UK this week was equivalent to £6.75/ $11.20 a gallon, with a fuel duty rise due in a month it'll be close to £7.40/ $12 in some parts

--- Quote from: Fordman on March 05, 2011, 11:18:41 am ---In the U.S.A., price speculators drive up the price here.
A camel farts the wrong way in the middle east and the speculators drive the price up.
The U.S.A. gets 90% of its oil from Canada, Gulf of Mexico and South America.
I dont know why we let the speculators drive the price up because of middle east turmoil.

FINALLY !!
Someone that "gets it"..... I was just explaining this to someone the other night.
The middle east BS is nothing more than an EXCUSE....don't let the news or any of these big companies ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- ya.
When stuff like this happens I buy just what I need to get by for a few days, I never fill up when the prices are getting jacked up.
Why give them huge immediate profits over a "just because they can" scenario, buy less and make a point.
:soapbox:

I 'have to get it'. My lively hood is directly tied to the price of oil.
As for the V6 ecoboost, Dearborn Truck Plant cant make enough of them. They havent made a V8 in over a month (Kansas City is making those). So far, rave reviews from all the critics and supposedly GM has something similar on the way.

No matter the cost its always better to pay out the nose for foreign oil & NEVER drill for our own.
It makes certain that when the war shifts from sugar (past) to oil (present) to water (future) WE WIN.
Count yourself lucky that for just a few extra $0.25 or $9.85 per gallon we are able to steal the future of the countries dumb enough to export a non renewable resource. Be thankful we are wealthy enough to NOT use our own, save our future, secure our power & actually have the ability to buy imported oil.
People complain how we have put future American citizen's in debt but truth be told the future generations are the ones with all the wealth. Look at the Saudi's for example, its just a few rich "royals" in Bently's whoring out their own country's resources while sharing NOTHING with its citizens which reside in a country with no true global power/wealth (gold & military).
Notice how the countries that send us their oil have no real gold reserves or military?
Canada, Mexico, Saudi where are your fighter jets, aircraft carriers, bajillion nukes, military, oil reserves, space satellites, forced assisted democracies & untapped oil fields/waters? You might have a few but you aint got ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- on us my friends >:D
So next time you ---smurfette--- about gas prices just know each gallon you pay for ensures your grandkids can go to Whole Foods driving a hummer (while working @ Monsanto LOL)
Look @ Baku got for selling their future to rich Americans

Isnt that an oxymoron statement? Whole Foods/monsanto since monsanto is a big seed manufacturer that changes the bio-genetics of the seeds?
