We all need to look at getting better mileage, whether it's by newer
technology or using diesel or driving slower.
  Thanks to the US, the Western world has cheaper oil.  BUT!
$4,000,000,000.xx  (4 Billion) a week is spent on buying foreign oil.
And our gas is cheap because the US maintains a huge overseas
military presence to keep it so.  If you figured in the cost of the
military then our gas costs us more than in Europe.
        Slow down and consume less gas.. that'll bring the boys home
from Iraq and lessen or remove our dependence on mid-east oil, or any
foreign oil for that matter.

                                David

P.S.: You'll live longer too, or at least it'll seem like a lot longer.
