I do not wish to start a flame war, but I wonder if people who make
comments like this have read the US Constitution lately. No one in
the Federal Government or the governments of the respective states
has the responsibility or the AUTHORITY to control the price of
gasoline or of any other consumer product, or to impose MPG
restrictions on automobiles. The high cost of gasoline can only be
addressed by building more refineries and by drilling for oil within
the US.

Does our government not realize this is killing the average American?
Has the president even made a comment about how this is hurting
families? Or -- maybe they don't care as they get money from the oil
and auto companies to get them elected and tax the crap of out gas to
pay their salary? Or maybe its because they have state owned cars
where they don't have to pay for gas?
We can put a man on the moon.
We can send a probe to land on mars.
We can invent nuclear weapons.
We can fly in the air.
We can cure most medical problems.
We can now communicate instantly anywhere in the world.
We can watch live sporting events from anywhere in the world.
Then why in the hell can't I get more than 30mpg in my car? Maybe
something bigger is at play here ........
