if you are saying the more gas we use, the more expensive it's going to get... does it mean if we drink more water, and the water cost SHOULD increase? i think that's something the government needs to regulate. Plus, if we need to drive certain miles everyday, will you be riding the bus just because you are going to save the energy consumption? because we all know it's more convinence to have your own car, we can manage our time better... (my opinion)
one more complain on the gas price. thanks to the damn blastards in middle east hold their export, in returns, we get our high gas price. big deal! we can use our reserves. do you all know those 30 millions units of oil can only serve the whole country for 2 days? (yes, 2 days) everyday american use 16.7 millions gallons of oil. it's all political thing. if OUR government is really concern our gas price, please have some good regulations!
i see all the cars should obey the what-so-called emission regulations. but hey, are all the PC companies pump out more waste materials than everybody else? i'd remember reading the TIME megazine stating that there are "huge amount" of wasted materials (i don't recall the exact figures) in order to produce "1" unit of CPU. how about the government should reinforce the big companies more than individual residents in the states? like you said, we do pay taxes. if drivers don't have rights to pollute, how about the big guys?
i think this is unfair. i am no environment studies. living in bay area and paying $2.30 per gallon at 76 gas station is outrages. i still remember the good old days where i paid only $1.35 for premium gas 4 years ago.
please excuse for any grammatical mistakes.
