I'm with you on that one. Makes you wish we had an alternate means of fuel now. And before anyone says it, no hybrids are not the answer. They cost too much to be viable, even used. Plus their MPG doesn't reach near what is advertised (although it is great). Oh well, here's to dependence on foreign oil.

well, that kid did invent that diesel conversion thingy that allows your diesel car to run on spent vegetable oil.  you just have to wait a few minutes for your car to get started.

I've heard a theory that Wal-Mart is to blame. The theory goes: Wal-Mart sells stuff from China. China has a steel shortage and they need more fuel. Fuel is used to ship Items from China and to ship steel to China. I don't mind paying higher gas prices as long as I get the low Wal-Mart prices. How many miles away is China?
