Fix for oil prices

[DON WALKUP]

congress ain't gonna do anything about the high price of gasoline/diesel...they reap too much revenue from it. both for the federal gov't and to amass personal fortunes. same goes for state legislators and legislatures.

insofar as trading into a vehicle that gets better milage...well... my jeep rubicon gets 23 MPG and my toyota tacoma gets the same. i cannot afford to trade ANYTHING right now...i'm retired and live on a fixed income. we recently towed our trailer from here in kaliphornistan to ohio and got averages ranging from nine to fourteen MPG from our toyota.

diesel is now $4.26 per gallon here...unleaded regular is $3.68 per gallon.

the oil companies and all associated with them will bring this country to dead standstill if we are not permitted to drill and use our own sources.

another problem is it takes so many years to get things like an oil refinery/power plant up and running. by the time congress gets offa its collective arse (if they ever do!)...fuel will probably be five or more dollars per gallon.

congress could have headed this off years ago but refused to do so! d*&^%$ near every one of them should be replaced!
