Miles to Go

all i have to say is diesel is the way to go. veggie diesal even. veggie diesel is free, except for the converter parts. a volkswagen golf diesel got 45-50 mpg 4 years ago... diesel people.

all i have to say is go diesel or veggie diesel. veggie oil is free, except for the converter parts. a volkswagon golf diesel got 45-50 miles to the gallon 4 years ago. diesal is the way to go.

Water for fuel is like having sex for abortion.
\Pie in the sky!
I bought my geo metro in 92 and still laugh at the bloated owners of the things at the pumps screaming about the Arabs, the oil co's, the gummint and never realize that THEY are the problem!.

You know. nothing has to be changed in size or weight. ASll we have to do is use water. Water? Yes. water. Water can be changed into 'Brown Gas', which is HHO, very simply with electical input and it works with greater power then petro fuel. You probably did this in high school. So, why can't we use this tech?
That is something the news people should be looking into. Why doesn't the environmentalists push for this pollution free energy. I don't know. I know why the oil companies don't want this and the people are getting screwed. Mr writer do a google on free energy, car run on water, fuelless energy and let the american people know about the tech that is being hushed up so we can pay high price at the pump. We could be independent of OPEC in no time. I challenge you all to look and learn. Why isn't the government developing this? You can't tax water, or can they?

Sorry, but I'm not willing to sacrifice safety to have better fuel economy, if for only one reason: drivers. When the fuel economy of a car goes up, those drivers will feel the need to go back to their insane driving habits and will cause more accidents. If the gas prices are good for only one thing, is it for slowing people down. Many people who drive those huge vehicles have FINALLY discovered that slowing down improves gas economy.

We have not built a Major fuel refinery in 30 or so years. We have Natural oil reserves in Alaska that could last over 100 years if we only had the Guts to tap into it. Almost everyone agrees we need to use our technology to create better, cleaner and more effcient transportation. But extracting our own Oil and Refining our own for a few years may, bring the price at the pump down until we can find newer yet still safe ways of transporting the American Family. Wake Up America.... We do not need to buy Oil from Anyone............

Does anybody care about using ethanol to replace some of our gas. But it shouldn't come from corn. Corn is expensive and not efficient. Corn needs good dirt and fertilizer. Let's switch to switchgrass. It grows on bad land, doesn't need help and an acre of switchgrass makes 10 times the ethanol of an acre of corn. Is there a conspiracy of corn farmers?

I own a used car dealership here in texas an I can drive almost anything I want depending on what what I feel like speed, luxury sedan , sport bike, Big SUV 4 cyl compact , but my newest love affair is a car that I used to own back when I was young and week to week broke a 1983 Honda Civic Type S Very Light Tight and Real cheap on gas. These cars have a carburator and no catalytic convertor and I get 50 on hwy and 40 around town but I know I f my wifes 04 Lincoln Navigator were to rear end or T-Bone me I would problably not survive it. So I agree we need to look for better engineering Weight reduction, aero dynamics, gearing and power alternatives to at least try and preserve some of the rituals and customs we are used to and also for the betterment and survival of our human race.

Is that "Brown Gas" for real or just another scam?

Is that 'brown gas" thing for real, or just another scam to prey on the hard hit? '

Oil prices are killing us all. Have you heard anything about running you car with "Brown Gas"....Water.
Check it out on runyourcaronwater.org. Is this for real. I would love to hear more about this.

The question is not pay now or pay later. The question is do you want to pay a US car manufacturer for new technology or a bunch of guys half way around the world who keep trying to kill us.

Not one of the 230 economists opposing the temporary tax break has an answer to the problem of soaring gas prices. The predicates for their arguments are so nebulous that rationalizing their repudiation is pure politicization. Recently, Obama rallied the fear of "thousands of job losses" occurring as a result of the temporary tax break. So, antithetically, employment should remain steady if the price of gas maintains equilibrium. One fervent Obama supporter denounced Senator Clinton and claimed that 300,000 jobs would be lost if the tax holiday passed. Again, one can then argue that gasoline tax preserves jobs; if the price of gasoline declined then the number of jobs in America would also wane. I take a train to work so where does factor in this conundrum?

PS I found another zealot. Please peruse his fallacies.

Comment: Are you willing to take a life to save $0.33, or $0.66 a day.
You who think this "GAS TAX HOLIDAY" is the right way to go, are doing just that.

If three months of tax free gas = a $30.00 savings.
You save about .33 cents a day.
If three months of tax free gas = a $60.00 savings.
You save about .66 cents a day.

At the cost of OVER 300,000 jobs. Is this worth that savings?
At the cost of unsafe roads. Where the pot holes will not be repaired because the funds needed for repair are given to you so you can save money everyday. At the cost of lives when a driver loses control of their car because they hit a pot hole and blew a tire, and runs in front of a school bus causing a school bus full of children to go off a cliff, or roll over and burn. But you get your daily savings.

No need to push for new government regulations and standards. Simply add a $5.00 per gallon tax like most countries and let consumers and the free market take care of things. It might even make it possible to rebuild our crumbling transportation infrastructure, move us toward "energy independence" and reduce our carbon emmissions all in one "easy" step.
