The American media never ever informs Americans their record current gas price of $3.50 should make them all stop whining like Yankee gasbabies and be thankful. For some reason Big oil in Americ doesn’t either?

But seriously doubt it.p any big changes until the electric car revolution, upcoming.

Hybrids are here and electric cars are on the way. This is their chance to gouge the American driving populace.

I just drove across the border from Mexico into Laredo last night, I filled up my truck with regular gas for $2.82 a gallon. That is up $.35 from six months ago. You do the math. Not 61% like the networks are broadcasting. I realize Texas is the bottom of the economic reality in America, but to my way of thinking.... Americans have very little to complain about.

You know darn well the oil companies want to make this administration pay for cutting back on their wild drilling and filthy pipelines. They can slow production and raise the prices however they want. Piss off the consumer is the name of the game. fox sewage is only too happy to do their propaganda for them.
