omg gas is retarded. A year ago I'd have an empty tank, throw down 40 bucks, fill her up and still get 5 bucks change. Now I throw down 40 with 1/4th left and it doesn't even fill it up. WTF!

The Hybrid and SUV one makes me laugh. For years my co-workers have been buying bigger and bigger 4x4s and lifting them to the sky. Kind of a competition who can get their truck the biggest. One guy even bought an F650 4x4, just so he new he had the biggest. I laugh when I only have to fill up once a week for 14gal, they are at the pump every 4 days for 30gal.

Did you guys hear about the Congress and Oil company heads meeting?
Congress is totally pi$$ed off cause oil companies made 1 billion for profits for 1st quarter. None of the company heads were giving good reasons why. One at the enough ***** to admit to congress "I really don't know how much profit I made?" I forgot which congressman but replies "Yeah I wish I made enough money to forget how much I make?" lol
------------------------
I can't believe these businessmen have the ***** to give BS excuses to congress!

$123 Billion last year was reported by the US oil companies combined. Who knows how much the OPEC companies made. Besides we only get about 10% from OPEC yet were still protecting OPEC nations because of their oil reserves.

The saddest thing is, The USA itself has about 30 years worth of OIL on reserve, and we are still paying $4+ a gallon. I don't even think oil is going to last another 30 years.... Its time to start hitting up our reserves before the economy totally crashes. Gas is effecting everything, its all on the raise in price.
When will the Government actually do something about it? Probably never because they all have investments in all these oil companys making their fortunes.....

I just bought myself a used motorcycle. $10 lasts a week.... The same amount of time it used to take the tC to empty it's tank. It's going to take me about 1 year to recover the cost of the bike.
That and it was cheaper than any turbo.... Plus it can easily pull 12 second runs.
