> [@whitey](#): > > it will force efficiency in cars, airplanes, trucks, etc. this is truth. however, I dont think we are really in the financial position to afford such luxuries. The economy is shaky at best. We have 11ty trillion dollars of national debt. we have a huge deficit. we made a clusterfuck out of the middle east. Now is one of those times where you make sure to shore up the boat instead of making sure that its going faster. In car terms, the USA is that guy in the early 90’s Lexus with dark tint and dubs, or a civic with an unpainted bodykit and a terminator wing. to the untrained eye, it might look like we are ballers, but in reality we live in our parents basement. We maxed out our cards pimping out our rides and making ourselves look n\*\*ger rich, but in reality we are horribly in debt. ---

You guys complain about gas in vehicles wait till you all own a house. Efficent heater or not the Natural gas companies rape you even worse and you NEED that n the winter, no way around it. ---

Although I hate President Bush, I really don’t think his being in office is why the gas prices are going up. pewter - you getting good gas mileage, i’m stuck at 7mpg. Maybe I should try to get the truck running right, instead of barely running like it is now. 🙂 ---
