All I can say is that anyone who drives an SUV & doesn't work in contruction or on a farm is just simply an ignorant & selfish fool because it's BushCo & oil pals who control gas prices in the US. They have for a very long time. They pay to make you to think that it's Your "American Birthright" to drive a gas guzzling road hog like an SUV. God Bless the Amercun Cars & Trucks! (Safety - yeah right?! Can you say manipulated data? Now smile bud as we ream your butt good) It's so you the Faithful but dumb Amercun can fill Their pockets with cash $$$. Most of us who understand the way the gas/oil comsumption "is controlled" here in the US are resigned to looking for those smarter alternatives & hybrids (so elequently lost in Patent Hell...) and we hope to buy & drive smart hybrids soon! Anyhow, 85% of the gas in pumps in the US is actually coming from Venezuela and the off shore rigging around Central America - where the US Corps. incidentally Own those oil rigs and corporate "cousins". Having been an EE at Haliburton, Texas in the early 80's I speak from experience. Oh yeah, if this is my last post you'll KNOW I was telling the truth....
Also just for the coup de gras, in some northern EU countries they sell gas based upon what you do - if your a framer and have a Harvester, you will get cheaper gas. But then they're smart enough to provide fun, fast & clean public transportation. C'mon, why do you think the US stopped substidizing our Train rail system in the US?? It worked too well in Europe.
