Now would be a great time for Bush to make a executive order to suspend

all
federal fuel tax and start drilling off shore here in Ca and start in
Alaska.
This would really help stop this crazy ness.
The answer Cleary is supply side. This is America fuel should and could be
under 1.00 a gallon if we can get the politicians out of it.

Dan

While you guys in the USA are thinking about petrol soon to be $6 a

gallon
have a thought for us poor brits..
I just paid £1 a litre today. Taking into account theres nigh on 4.5
litres
in a gallon..

4.50 GBP
United Kingdom Pounds = 8.28851 USD
United States Dollars
1 GBP = 1.84189 USD 1 USD = 0.542920 GBP

That makes our fuel at $8.29 now... not in the future (

Bet that makes you feel better...lol



Im not sure when it was, maybe mid to late 70's we brits were happy with our
new north sea oil find and everything was going to be cheaper and things
would be rosy... i dont know what happened there but the prices never went
down.. only up... and up....... and up. Most of our charge as with probably
a lot of yours is the government taking a whopping huge chunk in VAT.
What is this sh*t with VAT anyway... we pay it when we earn it.. we pay it
when we need to buy something with it... we pay some when we try to save it
and when you sell something you no longer need your expected to declair it
and pay it again. Then if you die...and so on and so on.... theiving
b*&terds have always got their hands in your pockets (
