Just as the topic says.  Im a bit bored right now so i think ill ---smurfette--- about gas.  Now i live in california so i was really happy when gas hit 1.50/gal. Personally for me im happy with that price, even at 2.00/gal im happy. But what has really been pissing me off is that in the papers the past few month, i read that the oil companys have to keep reducing its output because gas is gettin to cheap.  I remmember a while back they couldnt produce enough so it hit almost 5.oo/gal around here.  Now im reading that not only do they have to cut back to keep prices up there but that they have to charge more because of the fighting between the isreal and palastine.  Does anyone smell a nice pile of S :censored:t or am i the only one?

Level42:
Stop whining.

We pay $6.13 /gallon NOW, imagine what it was a couple of months ago.


But you're right, it's all a big pile of s....

The power of the oil companies and countries that have oil reserves...if you think economic situation is bad now, wait until the oil really gets rare.....

Gas/Petrol will be even cheaper when Obama regulates hybrids and electrics cars into the economy.

Smog will become a thing of the past.  Can't wait.  :cheers:

Wrote this nice long post and I closed the browser by mistake.

Wrote it again the the ---smurfing--- server wouldn't respond. I wrote it in Notepad though.

Then I thought better of it. Who the ---fudgesicle--- wants to read a long rant about EV's? So I'll just say this:

At my prior job, I had access to a huge collection of research documents that were done for the last, IIRC, 100 years or so. It's shocking to discover that everyone from scientists to politicians to average joes like you and I have been arguing and banging our heads against this exact problem this entire time. We, as a society, really need to get away from this entire "magic pill" mentality. Trying to convert the entire nation to EV is not only not going to work (not now anyways), it's going to delay real advancement with technologies that will help us here and now. Not stopgap solutions, but real solutions that can be applied right now, safely used for the next 100 years and push us further along in technology.
