It doesn't take long to see that our current president is a (failed) oil man from an oil family - any wonder why all the focus is on the gas guzzling cars?? Even the hybrids aren't that great - and they're focusing on the wrong thing... They say, "This wonderfuly hybrid has a 6-cylinder engine, but the power of a V-8 thanks to the hybrid technology!"

Added power is not the point, the point is FUEL ECONOMY. The fuel economy on some of these hybrids is the same (or ALMOST the same) as a regular 6-cylinder, so there is no real fuel economy improvement - therefore the oil companies continue to make their record profits.

It doesn't take a rocket-scientist to put 2 and 2 together and see the line we've been fed here in the US for the last 40 years. They do have it right in Europe and Japan - Japan has more American influence (after WWII we wrote their constitution, after all!) thus the emphasis on gas moreso than diesel, but they have such wonderful mass transit and the cars get great fuel economy, even for gassers.

Anyhow - all the American suckers can keep paying through to nose for their precious gasoline for their precious Hummers; I'll just buy stock in oil companies, run WVO in my own vehicles, and I'll reap the dividends.
