And we complain about $2.50....
but then, we also have the freedom to drive big vehicles wit hbig engines! And our infrastructure is much more developed for distribution of fuel, so that helps to keep our costs down.
HOWEVER... next time *we* feel like this is out of control, let us take a moment of silence and feel for our buds over hte pond, whose gas is COMPLETELY out of control. |
The problem in Europe that causes such high prices on gas isn't infrastructure, or any such physical issues. It's governmental.... TAXES! Their taxes on each gallon (well liter) is several times the price of the gas. OPEC rightfully complains that it is the one that bears all the burden for price increases, when in truth the governments (specially in Europe) are the ones that make the most money on the gas.

All too true...
I hear the other day that the crude oil prices in OPEC were not the driving cause behind price spikes... it's the petrolium manufacturers not keeping up with production. We can get the oil, not a problem... but refining it to usable product.... *that* was where the breakdown was...
I had never heard that.
Anyone else heard that?

The majority of people that would purchase a crotch rocket are generally irresponsible and do not drive their brand new motorcycle in a manner that befits caution and safety and as such, they die. THis is cool with me, it gets them off the road but it's bad because then everyone thinks that motorcycles are death traps. SO, Mr. Fox, if you must get a crotch rocket, please take BOTH the basic and the advanced safety courses and ride responsibly so that I can keep cruising on my Vstar. And, FYI, I get 50 mpg and my nuts aren't being crushed in to the tank.

yea i would definently take all the courses for it.. however i race snowmobiles i have a race modified jetski and i do the quad thing... im !@#* nuts... i also do sum other stuff in cars but thats a whole nother debate... the only reason i dont have one now is that i fear that im going to ride it like the rest of my toys... i live too much for the adrenaline rushes that i get from those things.... id wear the full protective outfit and everything ....i just keep running into ppl whove had accidents on them and lost like fingers, legs... scarred up... just not appealing to me...
