Oil sets new record above $118 a barrel - Oil & energy - MSNBC.com
The price for a barrel of oil hit $118 + today how much higher do you think it will go?
Will we ever see long gas lines again like in the 1970's?
GOD BLESS US ALL

OK, but I would prefer to put that time off if its all the same to you. Life is just one big procrastination, after all.

True, but I'm not going to offer encouragement. I saw too many of those big grease stains.

Just because motorcycles make up 1% of vehicles but 10% of fatalities, you think it's something to be worried about?

If the government really wants to help us out, they'd give us a tax-credit or something for the high price of all this cable tv.
I wonder what they're paying in Venezuela for their cable?

Folks it does not look good. People are having to cut back on their driving habits and how they do things.
Where is the GREAT AL GORE when we need him?

Things look good then, right? Mr. Market is gently persuading folks to do the right (economically rational) thing.

Wow, just paid 4.159 for diesel, luckily I needed only 115 gallons, $480 to fill the tank. Fortunately, ten years ago I invested in the Vanguard Energy Fund, 10 year return 17.3% per year.

I bet that the 454 ss is more scared of the prius, smart car or anything that goes near it.

Yep - you don't want to suck any little stuff down the Carb and blow it out the exhaust.
Might cause indigestion.  .
heh heh heh - as my ole buddy Sam used to say - hope you got big wide tires to go with that car.

This morning I came about this information on a water powered car.
Water Car Run on WATER+Fuel. Hydrogen Save Gas=FREE ENERGY!
How fea·si·ble water is as an alternate fuel remains to be seen. I thought it was an interesting concept.
I do not know if the site is on the up and up or if it is just a way to get people to buy into a product that is a hoax and in the end will get people to fool·ish·ly part with their hard earned cash.
GOD BLESS US ALL

There was a commercial that was run here in San Diego quite a few times, about Honda having a hydrogen car. FXC, I think it was called. It was supposed to be leased to like 100 people or something here in Southern California. Anyone heard if that fell through or it they're still planning on it?
