No biggie. I'll just oppress a few more worker class peasants to pay for the gas for my facist built imperial gas guzzler.

no problem for me as my bicycle takes me to my job. i feel mass transit should be imposed on people to save the fossil fuels.

Probably because you're a communist.

Nice pic of Lincoln in your Avatar. If he heard your proposal, he'd have a freakin' heart attack.

Lincoln's heart attack would come from the price of gas.

HMMmm, about every spring a refinery or two shut down for repairs, and /or explodes and the price of gas jumps up for the beginning of summer. The price of oil is shooting past prevous record highs while we have a president who has ties to the oil industry. Lets not forget this is the same president who greatly lowered the tax liability of the oil corperations. Coincidence?, or unrestrained greed in action?

How about the price is going up because its a commodity which is decreasing in supply and increasingly in demand all over the world? Who would have thought that something as irrelevant as supply and demand could have an effect on prices? Clearly this is a Bush plot.

two things i cannot stand,
[1] Cyclists who think they have an equal right to the road as i do....no you don't, i go faster, i pay road tax....i own it.

[2] Hippies who want to stop me driving.
Everyone is one of those. Either they want me to bus it, or train it, or car pool or walk or cycle or they'll put up doble yellow lines to stop me parking....f**k off.

if the bus will get me from my house, to any destination i like whenever i like and back, on £30 a week....fine i'll take the bus, untl then i'm a fuel consuming earth hater type.

Right. Lets not examine Bush's motives too closely because we might not like what we find.

Or we might be perfectly satisfied with what we find. Do us a favor and don't assume that just because we come to a different conclusion after looking at the same data, that we didn't understand the data.

Yeah, maybe they haven't been paying close attention. The price of gas has been climbing since there has been gas.
