Gee, that Onrecess guy predicted (before summer - see page 16) that gas prices would drop to between 1.67 (what it was when bushII took office) to $2.57 JUST BEFORE the election so the dems wouldn't nationalize the oil companies.
He is amazing!
Sort of like that Eli Stone of political hijinks!
(Okay, it is me!)
Gee, what a surprise! NOT!
Gosh, a party going in that isn't oil company owned and (coincidently, I'm sure) oil prices drop! Amazing! Just as that wise sage had said! And still the same people who said I was crazy will swear it was impossible to predict! Yeah, yet I did it.
Be afraid, be very, very afraid!
LMAO!
I think if we took a vote the majority would still say you are crazy. Gas prices went up and then went up and up and then up again. Like anything else (real estate, the stock market), the bubble was going to burst, at least for a while. Worldwide demand for crude oil is going to double in the coming years. What will the price of unleaded be in one year, two years, five years, ten years? Four bucks a gallon? Five? Eight? Ten, plus it will be rationed by the government? Who knows. Least of all someone who plans to convert a Porsche to run on golf cart batteries. Try checking with all of us who already use golf cart batteries to store solar power on our campers. You never want to run them under 50% charge and if it gets down below freezing, you can lose over 50% of that 50% you started out with. Turn on the a/c, wipers, radio, and headlights, and your range on that $25,000 converted Porsche will drop to 20 miles, maybe less if it is really cold.
And where in the world did you read that Democrats want to nationalize the oil industry?
By the way, what kind of gas mileage does a '96 Holiday Rambler with a Ford 460 get, wise sage? 6MPG?
