Re: Oil prices got you down?
 

Good point, but lots of stuff is broken, with people saying it isn't.

I think you're wrong about liberals. They don't think, that policy changes
won't have any negative effects. They just don't give a damn. I have
learned to be suspicious of liberals too, especially when they want to play
with my money.

Sonny, I was buying gas when it cost a tad more than three bits a gallon
-- the taxes on a gallon of gas is more than that now. "No Gas" signs
are a personal memory.

If I'm burning 20 gallons a week I'm burning 20 gallons a week. The
demand is the same, no matter how large or small the purchase lot is.

Re: Oil prices got you down?
 

It depends. If you've got a _lot_ of mousefarts it adds up. A quick
google search suggests that there's about 240 million vehicles in the
USofA, they burn 5.8 billion gallons of gasoline a week. 2% of 5.8
billion is a rather sizable mousefart.

Re: Oil prices got you down?
 

It depends. If you've got a _lot_ of mousefarts it adds up. A quick
google search suggests that there's about 240 million vehicles in the
USofA, they burn 5.8 billion gallons of gasoline a week. 2% of 5.8
billion is a rather sizable mousefart.
