Sorry, man, I'm DONE apoligizing in this thread. Take it as "that's the net". Not everybody knows everything, and I don't owe anyone any apoligies for stupid, incorrect crap on the net. THAT'S THE NET FOR YA
EVERYTHING in the good old USA is about money. And if people don't believe that, then they have their head in deeper sand than I have already admitted that mine is in, as stated earlier in this post.
Someone please prove to me that Oil Companies are NOT taking price advantage of the war situation? They hike prices for every other excuse in the book, some war in an oil rich region is just the next excuse this minute. Next week it will be based on the price of tea in China.
They hiked the price after Katrina.... why? Some excuse existes, but then they posted WORLD RECORD BREAKING 400 billion profits for that quarter? ? ? ? Is the new math THAT twisted that the obviousness of the equasion is lost?
YES, oil companies make a profit. Or they would not have a "business" ...maybe gas stations, don't make much but oil companies do.
Yes, my topic title was a little narrow minded, but it was to really be about GAS. Nobody would have read it if it said, "How to save gas and stick it to the oil companies for their ridiculous pricing scams that our crooked government does nothing about because they are earning cash"
I listed a bunch of commonly overlooked ways to conseve gas.
Is everyone doing their part? I plan to get a new bike this month to ride to work. I'm doing my part to send a message
