If you think gas is expensive, try feed and livery charges for a horse, vet
bills, grooming, and the annoying requirement in some citys to pick up after
your animals. (that's one BIG baggie). :)
I'll take a vespa.

Re: Oil prices got you down?
Explain to us how buying 10 gallons of gas every 5 days will create less demand
than buying 2 gallons every day. Why don't we all stop buying gas on Mondays?
That'll kill demand won't it? Give me a break...
I'll gladly pay whatever it takes to drive my gas guzzler 75 mph. You can drive
your hybrid whatever speed you want, but I say ---- driving 55 mph.

Probably less the fault of the EPA and more the fault of environmental whackjobs.
There would have been a nice shiny new refinery in California, but due to regulations,
red-tape, and pure out and out bullshittery, they built it down to Mexico.
One has had a fire, and one simply have to be shut down for maintenance. Then
there is the switch from Diesel to home heating oil, and "winter grades" of fuel.
But your correct, we need more refineries.
We also need some price controls on gasoline. Just wait till the oil companies
report profits this year. Prices now are simply pure greed.
As for me, I'm just rolling things into single trips. No more just driving
to a place to window shop. That and taking my lunch to work rather than going
out for lunch. Heck, eating lunch alone costs $7-$10 depending on where you
go around here.
