Oil prices got you down?

There is no solution...none of us are going to get out of this alive!
So have you the balls to take that?

That is the stupidest comment I have ever read! What is it with you
bleeding heart liberals, all you can do is whine. You're just dead
weight!

Bill,

I am not sure which problem this is intended to solve. For me, the problem
is to assure a continued supply of petroleum and petroleum products, until
some whiz kid figures out how to make pure 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, out of
sh*t. If we want to do that, it is necessary to preserve what petroleum we
have, for a while at least. Opening up the tap isn't going to accomplish
that.

I thought that conservatives, were supposed to "conserve" stuff. I may be
confused.

Is there any wonder oil companies are reaping record profits with W in
office?

Except we're a dimension away from using gravity. So lets use the
the resources we have, until we gain that technology. Like if we had no
petroleum tomorrow, wouldn't that speed up that process? Besides oil is
a renewable resource, it just takes a little longer.

So buy oil stocks if it's such a money maker. LOL
You do know China almost bought Union 76, before Chevron stepped in
last week and saved them.

Matt, in your bleeding heart liberal imagination you don't think people
like president Bush or Rockefellers own the oil companies do you?

The ANWR will slake our whorelike lust for oil-for about five years.
At the cost of turning the whole area into a massive pile of wreckage
not worth backhauling out.

If I could buy Jet A for what the airlines get it for-it is still
subsidized-I sure as hell would run a car or truck on it. Any diesel
engine will burn Jet A, all the ramp equipment is and does. Last price
I heard air carriers pay was around $2.10/gal. Civilian FBOs will
charge up to $3 a gallon but some sell it for only a few cents over
cost-look at ads in Trade-A-Plane.Jet and diesel fuel are about the
same price, wholesale, before road or air taxes are added. If we get
Euro II diesel regs-and we are stupid not to, trucks and buses will run
a lot cleaner-they WILL be the same-it'll be cheaper just to make JP-8,
which is what all military diesel and turbine engines burn.


"George W. Bush is a traitor, an idiot, and a moron and I think the
Arabs should punish us for electing the silly son of a bitch by driving
Saudi oil high enough to crash the stock market."-A sign I saw on a
farmer's barn off I-80 out West. Don't remember the mile marker, but I
wish I had a picture.

dam you finally got a clue

did you know driving at 55 verses going the same place driving 70 only results in about a 10
minute difference in a 200 mile trip there is a formula for this thats given to each new
driver going thru training in my area
and i drive a 383 bigblock newport to work
talk to people u know and you will find that people fill the tanks on monday and use up 1/4
tank then drive right bac in and top off the tank thinking they are going to save a few
pennies. because gas goes up everyday, so demand goes up i see it everyday and hear about it
everyday
