I think there was a law passed years ago by Clinton? that said by the year 2020 (or 2015?) that every manufactured vehicle has to have X amount of miles per gallon.

we are living in an excessive world run by excessive people who want it all whether they earn it or not.
greed greed greed.
i'm always amazed when i hear about how horrible our economy is but drive by the hundreds of restaurants there are here in peoria & they aren't just a little busy but they are PACKED with a waiting line out the doors.

nobody can find a job because they want a job they 'deserve' - not one that is simply available.
when my husband was laid off like thousands of others, he figured out a way & made it happen. he's managing a small car dealership & we're doing just fine financially.
living off your credit cards is not an option for us because we choose not to. i'd be a nervous wreck if i did that.
we've cut back where we needed to so we can still have a yearly vacation. no fancy trips or anything - just a week in a borrowed motorhome with the kids.
we saved enough money last year & put in a pool for the kids. we had more fun in that thing & are looking forward to many more years of enjoyment from it.
if people would quit trying to keep up with the joneses & actually figure out what brings them joy instead of listening to what the media tells us we want, there would be a whole lot more happy people in the world.

Throughout American history, the ideals of equality, liberty and democracy have been in constant conflict and friction with the realities of material greed and power.

I say I've earned the option to drive a damn Lamborghini Diablo SV! Unfortunately, the economics of it have decided otherwise. Then I'd have another gripe against gas mileage seeing as those cars get single digit gas mileage, lol.

Good replies by everyone, but Wade wears a wool suit, not polyester.

Many good points by 4packgirl and wade. We have redefined what it means to 'need' something. Urban sprawl is a choice that distances us miles from our work place, day care, churches, schools, and grocery stores. We see the consequences in our banking account, traffic jams we get stuck in, and scheduling nightmares, many of which being self-imposed.

I hate seeing gas prices sky rocket and execs make asinine salaries, but as Wade and others pointed out, it's the summation of each of our choices. The CEOs of the unicycle, hydrogen inflated blimps, and the chia pet aren't getting 200,000k raises and holding us by the balls because we've found a way to live w/o those products and services

Zero, we need to get our gasoline more in line with the rest of the world and continue to import oil so we can keep shooting Arabs and using the incredible offensive defense aresenal we keep overspending on. We build planes that we don't ever plan on using.

What we should do is drill our own oil here on our continent and in the meantime, our boys in Washington should pass some fricken green technology bills mandating that in 30 years everything is converted over.

This will never happen because there is too much power and money in the oil business. They own the politicians and everthing else.

The oil companies have been screaming to drill and Obama & Environmentalists etc. won't let them.

We'll never be independent from oil, because the oil boys control everything; but we should be independent from foreign oil, because we have centuries worth right here.

That's what bugs me the most....we have our OWN oil we could get, but the environMENTALists won't let us.
I guess they would rather have us pay $4.00 or more per gallon, then to get our own oil that's right under American land.

Obama won't let the US drill in the gulf and then he starts a third war against an oil producing nation.

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (20h) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (21h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
