And the point of this thread is....??? Just to mention something that already known and mentioned about 5 times already.
Get over it people... if you can't afford a few extra bucks at the pump, sell your car, you can't afford it anyhow. And don't start on me about the effects on the entire economy... gas goes up, shipping costs go up, merchadise goes up, people buy less, people lose their jobs... yea, I get it.
Until we (the US government) get our head out of our asses and start using OUR OIL thats under OUR SOIL and maiking affordable, were screwed.
