What really peeves me is that ..If it *were* all about the oil, why are gas prices outrageous?? ~D |

The ads where Bush said Kerry was for raising the taxes on gas were great. I personally think they should add a 50 cent tax per gallon of gasoline. Then the moms driving their Ford Expeditions will think about getting a reasonable and responsible sized vehicle. Gerald |

The prevailing attitude there was summed up by the lady interviewed by National Geographic magazine a few months ago. She said she didn't mind the gas mileage (or lack therof) her Hummer gets. She's comfortable knowing that "no matter what I hit, I win." George Patterson If you want to know God's opinion of money, just look at the people he gives it to. |

"Outrageous" is relative. US prices are still dirt cheap compared to what
Europeans pay. Hear hear. At Rotterdam fuel costs $2.18 per LITER that's $8.5/USGal. Have a look at: (NB. Prices are per LITER on this list) http://www.alexfrance.eurobell.co.uk/eurofuel.htm |
