Along with the spiraling deficit, fuel price
Along with the spiraling deficit, fuel prices have doubled in the last 3
years and dragged everything with it. There's nothing that gets to the
consumer without the use of fossil fuels - often more than once - for

One wonders how much the price of oil is directly reflected in the price of
tires? Tires are synthetic rubber made from oil right?
