it’s pretty certain we won’t be seeing gas under $3/gal ever again, it will just keep going up slowly but surely. probably will be seeing a lot less suvs and a lot more econocars/bikes 5-10 years down the road. ---

> [@Shawn96VR-4](#): > > Yea, I can’t imagine what we could do with a trillion dollars and a President in the office with no oil connections. 🙂 when considering war spending you always got to figure that that money is mostly being funneled right back into the economy, driving the production sector, not to mention all the r&d. most of the stuff we take for granted now was originally developed for military applications in one form or another. I’m not saying that this justifies a war, but it’s definitely not a loss either. ---

Given the current state of the economy, I think there’s a break in that funnel. ---

Rising costs of dairy/meat/etc… It must be tough for big families… necessities go up, luxuries go down, supply and demand during economic lows. obviously this is extremely generalized and dumbed down, there are thousands of factors affecting the prices of any given item in a particular region. also the distribution of wealth within the population skews things further. economics, crazy stuff, that ---

That’s not the injectors but your dumb ass fault. :tong BTW, a local NY 3S’er is going to replace a new block due to cylinder washing… Might want to consider getting it tuned.
