I heard on the radio that out in Utah and Colorado that there is a big deposit of oil shale that could produce 1 trillion barrels of oil. Total cost would be @ 30.00 a barrel. Not sure what that would translate to a gallon of gas. Are gov. representative need to tell the tree molesters to move to cuba and start providing American oil to the masses. Tell Saudi Arabia to go **** themselves.
Just like the oil fields off the costs of Virgina and North Carolina.
The oil fields in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico are now just being tapped, but they are 5-6 miles deep. Dont know how much oil is in this field as the sonar equipment used to measuere can not get an accurate reading. Or something like that.
Plus Canada has huge huge untaped oil shale reserves .

There will be four of these (1 on each pipe before and after your catalitic convertors).

Here is a close up pic of what you have to do. There is a connection plug that you can disconnect and replace the sensor.

Ouch! My dealer charged $450 for 5 yr./ 60,000 mi. changes on the new Z. I went in at 1,000 mi., they covered that one even though it was early and they had lifting pucks ready (a good sign, mine were already in).
Many, many thanks to you guys that I even know about lifting pucks, not to mention holding out for forum dealer pricing. Now to go check out those O2 sensors.

we should all be outraged at price of oil and gas and voice that to politicans so they will work to get more refineries in this country and explore more and produce more oil in the US and pursue alternate fuels other than ethanol for the future, you young guys don't know how reasonable gas used to be back in the day...
and exxon, saudi etc., made good money to boot. you just shouldn't say oh well that is what I have to pay and not protest to your government it will only get worst if you don't speak out....ask any oldtimer and they can educate you.
proud to be and american and served my country in military but very unhappy with our government for their inaction for the american people.

Alberta is second to Saudi Arabia. Bet there are also two other oil producing provinces as well (Sask, Man.). There are no shortages of oil or NG reserves. We don't need the Arabs, It justifies the huge tax and massive profits that our governments skim off the top. With all the oil that NA has we could easily be driving around paying $1 a gallon and holding a
a giant middle finger to the Arabs.

I get my oil changed at my local dealer. $11.99
I supply the oil/filter, and they supply the lift. There are not to many dealers that don't have oil change specials going on all the time, and most will be glad to cut you a deal if you supply the goods.

I just changed the oil in my wifes vette and my pick up while watching F1 on Speed.
Thinking about my time, shop time, shop fees, Yes $100-$120 would be about right for a dealership to change a car with M1.
Unfortunitly the Alberta / Manitoba oil shale is not light sweet crude as in the Mid east. It is the heavy crude oil as on the north slope and oil shale. Not easy to refine but it can be refined.
Light sweet crude oil can 'almost' be put into an Abrams tank and the tank will run.
