Normally aspirated means it’s not turbo-charged.

Family Zero is some new marketing term from GM.

Two problems with that:

1) If oil prices go way up again, you’ll have to revisit this.

2) Less that half of our oil consumption is gasoline.

A better way would be to set a minimum oil price of $65 a barrel. If the price goes above that, import tarrifs would be raised just enough to keep it at $65 / barrel.

Lets hope you enjoy the same type of “funny” and “very cool” things if they start popping up about our incoming president. I am sure there will be some because he does have a problem of sticking his foot in his mouth. His VP is notorious for having foot and mouth disease plus running off at the mouth. Maybe the shoe will fit when that happens too.

Has anyone questioned the UAW about how much money its top executives make and how many perks they receive? I doubt that has been discussed. I feel sure many in congress would never question what pay and benefits the UAW executives receive.

When you get them down, you had better not let them back up. If we go back to sleep this time, they will really kill us the next time. The only thing better than running a Volt on little or no $4.50/gallon gas is running it on little or no $1.65/gallon gas.

Have you seen the Bush/shoes internet video game? Very cool, IMHO. There’s even a story about it on the Yahoo news this AM.

“shoeandawe.com”

If that doesn’t work, try “shoesandawe.com”

Here’s my suggestion:

1) Effective immediately, the US slaps a $1/gallon “deficit reduction tax” on every gallon of gas or diesel sold.

2) All proceeds go directly to deficit reduction.

3) Fuel conservation is encouraged, and we effectively reduce the latitude OPEC has to further increase gas prices ( knowing that a price of $4/gallon will likely catalyze another downturn …).

4) All posters with rampant BDS ( Bush Derangement Syndrome) be ushered off to the crazy farm.
