Do any of you honestly think that isn't true?? How much money do you think our leader, friends and family have made since his second term began.. Oil is up 30 percent.

What business are they in.. The OIL business..

Please tell me you are not that blind!!

Give it a rest There's an OFF TOPICS section for a reason.

Newflash, gas has been going up since before he was ever in office. It's just starting to jump now cause of the all the towel heads in this county.

You're right. The fact that we Americans are gluttons driving around to work in large SUV's with only 1 passenger, has nothing to do w/ it. I guess some people always have to blame others to make themselves feel better.

How many people do you know drives a vehicle that gets more than 20mpg city? I don't know of very many. Gluttons I tell you gluttons.

I drive a 4cyl Galant to work that gets me 22mpg in city. I save the Vette for weekends, where I take the freeway and get an average of 28+mpg. At 90mph, my car is barely at 2k rpms. I love it.
