Hopefuly you're not serious. But if you factor in the cost of "buying Mexico", it would render whatever fuel savings you think you'd gain obsolete. Not to mention, if Mexico became a US state, the price of a gallon of fuel would probably rise too. Lay off the weed, son.

I'm not for sure....but I think his was a joke about "everyone is mexican in california anyway." If not, I guess I was searching too hard for humor in his usually joke filled posts.

Gas was at a national average of about $1.50 when your lord and savior G.W. Bush took office, it just 8 little years, it has gone up to $4.50 and rising. So, yeah.

Gas has gone up all over the world, not just in the US.

Or does G.W. control the world as well?

No, but he does a good job of f*cking it up.

Everyone knows that Bush is responsible for everything bad. Even the extension of the dinosaurs was his fault. 😆

Not on the same scale, not even close. If it had, the rest of the world would be paying 3-4 times as much too. Hint: They aren't.

Funny though, gas prices raise exponentially during Bush's two terms, you say "Meh, it just happened". But now you're crying that if a Democrat gets elected, gas will raise as a direct result.

Well the difference is at least McCain will attempt to lower prices, he has said he will support drilling in Alaska and off shore. While all I have heard from Obama is more taxes..along with "change" and "hope" and all that irrelevant stuff

it would take at least 10 years just to break ground and another 20 or more years to begin pumping oil. thats the reality of the situation. republicans have you people believing that you'll see results this year, which is easy because you're stupid.

I'm guessing you know that this has been voted on over and over in Congress and that the president does not have the overall say in the matter.

Sigh, people need to at least google shit about gas prices and then talk about it. It is not all about supply. Really, that has very little to do with it.

Obama could also support drilling in ANWAR, doesn't mean the measure will pass either, as the president doesn't make that call. So in essence, it's an empty promise.

Here's a question, who do you think is more politically connected to OPEC/Big Oil, Obama or McCain?

So then please..what is Obama's plan to lower the cost of oil/gas? In the long run drilling in Alaska would help. Higher supply = lower cost.

Unless you believe we will find a new source of energy within the next 10 years that will be able to fuel the world...lol...but hey, "hope!".

A national impact study by Wharton Econometrics estimates total employment at full production in ANWR to be 735,000 jobs. Federal revenues would be enhanced by billions of dollars from bonus bids, lease rentals, royalties and taxes.

You do understand demand is not the reason why gas is so high, right?

After careful, intricate analysis here's what I came up with 💃 :

1) I did not mention Obama. I have not even said I would vote Obama on KMC at any point.

2) He did not even address my point (supply and demand are not what drives gas prices) and it has been covered in the other gas related topics.

3) I did not even mention a new source of energy. I was talking about the price of gas.

You said supply has very little to do with the price of gas. According to the laws of supply and demand, wouldnt it have quite a large role?

Please someone enlighten me.

If things got that bad, I'd probably swap out my 5 speed transmission and replace it with a 6-speed, with the 6th gear being a tall overdrive gear. I get 28 mpg hwy already, so adding a 6th overdrive gear could probably improve my hwy fuel economy dramatically. Hell, having 6th ratioed for acceleration would still probably see an improvement in fuel economy.

What would be the cost of this 6-speed transmission with parts and labor factored in?

How much of your driving is highway-driving where you're in highest gear.

How much would your gas mileage from 5th to 6th improve? Most likely, it wouldn't be more than a few mpg. (really depends on the car and how many RPMs your car drops cruising at say 70 mph)

Because if it's going to cost you $2,500 to change out, you only cruise on the highway an average of 15 miles a day and it only gives you a 3 mpg improvement. You might want to just pocket that money for gas or invest in a highly fuel efficient car for the long haul.

Other topic

Lazy ass. It has been discussed in other topics also. Just scroll down.

Besides, it is kinda random that "supply" became an issue around the same time all these campaigns post 9/11 came about.
