How many lives does it cost to fill your tank??

Anybody notice the high gas prices?

At what cost does a gallon of gas come to now a days?

It seems that with the government making an 'investment' for the oil companies by overturning a government in a middle-eastern country to create a strong-hold where oil can be piped to the US at a much lower cost. That at a time we are paying 2.49 a gallon (or about 21 cents a mile for those of us that get 12 MPG) and oil companies are making more profits than any other comapany in history.


So if you are paying 21 cents a mile think about how much that is a month.
And then think about how many gallons of gas will be produced from the US overtaking Iraq. You created a higher demand so the market responded.
Driving a full size SUV or pick-up for city use is wrong and is costing lives. Every gallon burned represents the blood of soldiers with the stynch of money and greed.

Stop the maddness!!

1. I drive a 12-yr-old Toyota that still gets 35mpg in the city

(And she just passed CA's smog inspection this morning. She's a good girl.)

Why on Earth do people willingingly purchase vehicles that get 12 freaking miles to the gallon??

2. Some that live in snow country

I could understand but I see so many in the city of Denver.

3. The Bay Area is infested with them

And there's not a whole heck of a lot of snow around here (last week's freak storm nothwithstanding). In addition, I rarely see more than one individual in an SUV at a time. It's obscene.
