Look....lot of this is supply and demand crap. I have an suv I bought when gas was $1.60 a gal., I though I'd get a boat and needed a tow vehicle. Well the boat went down the drain and I still have the payments on the SUV....gas guzzler heaven. Ok..I'll live with it. People with RV's getting 5 mi. a gallon should rethink things. Sport fisherman with twin monster motors should think about buying their fish instead of fishing for them. I used to have a 28 footer single screw that only got 2-3 mi. a gallon with a mid sized 8 cyl, power.
Lot of these monster fishing boats have huge 8's or big deisels that are lucky to see 1 mi. a gallon each engine. They should be on gas rations. I don't care if they can afford it or not. I love it when I see big power cruisers going from one dining spot to another just for drinks. 100's of gallons in fuel for a better cocktail, jeez take a limo it's more efficient. Companies are abusers of fuel also. Many company trucks are fuel hogs and the employees have no say, I know I tried and was told to just drive. Big 8 cyl. vans when a Venture or pickup 4-6 cyl would do.
Do you want to fight back against these oil producing countries?
Don't buy their products. Don't buy that Chineese reel. Buy oil that is produced here. Buy American made products even if they cost a little more. I know it's hard, most stuff is not totally made in America anymore. Same with the Immigration problem, if they couldn't find work they would never have come. Just my $.02, not trying to start a flame war.
