addicted to oil gas prices up it's 1978 all over again

Hi Gang.

What if we actually started car pooling? What if people finally gave up their 8 MPG monster SUV's? What if we didn't care how much gas cost because we rarely had to purchase it?

Not to be preachy, but...ride the bus one day a week. Live closer to your work. If you own two cars, could one of them be a hybrid or at least something that got 30+ MPG?

for the record, The Nixons live two blocks from their job, within walking distance of restaurants and grocery stores and rarely drive their car...it gets 34 MPG.

We've never been into the whole hippie preachy thing. We eat meat and watch sports...Even now, we are still hesitant to post this...but we're getting sick and tired of the big news story EVERY F-ING MORNING being about how gas has gone up ANOTHER few cents over night. Oil is HOW MUCH PER BARREL?!? I don't know about you, but we've never bought a barrel of oil.

Let China and India use all the oil up and pollute their air. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that the oil supply in the world will run out. And probably quicker than you might realize.

We in this country were once leaders and visionaries...it is time to be that again. We've been to the moon. Can't we live without using so much gasoline? People in Europe have been paying $7+ dollars a gallon FOR YEARS. That is why they drive those little cars that we like to make fun of. But those little cars get 45 MPG.

Oh how funny we must look to them...driving our gargantuan SUV's...and how ridiculous we must sound complaining about $4 a gallon gasoline.

Just think about it...
