I just paid $2.20 gallon for gas, and the prices are still going up, every day the price goes up 3 or 4 cents.

On the news a couple of days ago they reported that the oil companies are raising prices due to short commings in supply due to several refineries being down for maintenance. However, the two major companies have reported first quarter earnings increaces of around 23% for shell, and 98% for exxon/arco. (I am pretty shure that I got the names and figures right...the main idea is still there) Thus, there is absolutely no fiscal motivation for the companies to repair their refineries, or do any other maintenance as stated in the earlier post about the diesel pipeline break.
As for SUV bias, I have owned one as long as I was able and have used it as intended most of the time. The only folks that I have hit deserved it (they werent paying attention, ran stop signs) and it saved my bacon. Besides, I need to always keep a car in inventory that can tow the 914 home, to the shop, etc. My daily driver is a motorcycle that gets atleast 40mpg. It is a hazardous endevour, but parking is also very easy. |
