Filled up the Dump truck two days ago with Diesel, cost me 90 bucks. I might just strap a dump trailor on the back of my *** and rollerblade it everywhere. 
At least Ill have some beefy *** legs.

1) Bush has very little to do with gas prices. Increasing oil prices is world-wide. Price/barrel is at all-time high (nothing to do with US economy)
It's just a VERY SIMPLE SUPPLY/DEMAND law: OPEC (arab countries) drills oil at a steady pace, while demand is increasing. They are aware that if they drill too much, their supply will run out in a few decades - something that they won't do. Why would they ? They can stretch out the supply, while watching the prices go up. It can only benefit them, right ?
2) Prices WILL go up and that's a fact. I suggest buying a Jetta TDI (turbo diesel) that gets 40 mpg. I drove my dad's for a week. On a full tank, I made 500 miles !!!! You can also get a corrolla....similar mileage.
3) You have a choice people. Yea, it's nice to drive a ******* SUV, but then stop bitching about paying $80/tank every few days.
4) I own a 2001 Camaro SS, and I drive it on weekends only. My daily car is a 1995 Camaro V6. It's still a gas guzzler. It's got 141,000 miles. Once it dies on me, 4-banger engine is what I'm gonna buy. Probably Jetta or Golf TDI, or Corrola. Also, Europenas already have Civic with a Diesel engine. I'm waiting for that here in US.
Another thing that Eurpeans have is BIODIESEL. Fuel made out of ******* plants (corn)
They got it right, we certainly didn't yet....first comes anger, then acceptance :-)
