Default The Government is going to kill GM.

I just saw a piece of the new legislation to bring automakers up to 35mpg. It sounds like we are doomed in the future. I hate gas. I wish our engines ran off of water then would could give OPEC the finger!

this is ridiculous.... gas prices....thats not the problem......50 to .75 cents more how about fuel prices to heat apartment building / commercial.... landowners are paying threw therir noses. a 40 unit complexusally burns 50,000 gallons a winter season,,, per building at an average. come on gas prices is the least of the problems...

road taxes is what drives it up.... each state is different.....$1.00 per gallon is what we pay as an average if not more.....

when we all go to the track we still pay the $6.00 to $9.00 a gallon and we dont even look back.

but WTF its just life..........
