well roadkill, i agree with almost all you say. except about the guy who drives the 4x4. i drive only cars made before 1970.i have a few. none gets better than 12 miles to the gallon. i drive just them for many reasons.i do have a 99 tahoe that sucks gas but i just dont like it and gas milage isnt the reason.i prefer large cars and trucks. i feel like im in a can when i get in my wifes 08 300.thou i do like the hemi, i dont like the feeling of being squeezed.in my 62 galaxie i can fit 3 in the front and can drive and still feel like i have room.i can also work on these old girls without having to drag out all the equipment.speculaters and the government are why the gas is like it is. and we still export oil and gas!!i would tell these sand dwellers to eat their oil and see if that fills them up.and it is easy to get the price back where it was say 10 yrs ago.but it is too damn political.take the gov. out and it will drop over time.man just drop the tax and see where it goes.
