Further bad news re: gas prices. Hugo Chavez just announced about an hour ago that Venezuela has stripped the international oil Companies of control over the massive Orinoco Belt oil projects. And you know what today is ? May 1...happy May Day comrade Chavez...hope you and your buddy Fidel enjoy yourselves today. Lousy Commies ! Wait and see what this does to crude prices, have no idea what to expect.

I'm not wild about any of the GOP canidates. I don't know too much about them at this point.

Rudy has done good stuff in New York City. I don't know that makes him ready to lead the Nation. He has had a relatively messy personal life. Maybe he manages work better, but it is cause to wonder.

McCaine is not my man. I appreciate his service. I marvel at his years in captivity. I groan at his fawning for big media to like him.

I need to learn more about Romney (sic) and Thompson

If the dems run the best canidate in a race, I could vote for them. I don't expect it to happen this , but who knows.

I know that I have reduced my personal gasoline use. I have skipped fishing trips. I have not driven to Shreveport or Bossier because of the gasoline prices. I have waited and made multiple stops on one trip rather than spread errands out over several days.

IF (and I wonder sometimes)it is a free market, reduced use should lead to reduced prices. Are other folks not reducing their driving? I would think that if all other things stay the same and your gasoline expense goes up, you would drive less or eat less and I sure as heck don't see folks getting any less obese arouind here.

...I have not driven to Shreveport or Bossier because of the gasoline prices...

Ham... where are you?

[catman]

I guess we are still lucky here in Cassville, I filled up this morning for $1.69 per gallon

Tim is this a type-po error above?

I will be sticking with my 2.3L 4 banger Ranger for a while it looks like.

[brittsnbirds]

Wish I had a 4 banger!! Wonder if it would pull the pup? I may have to go back to the tent thing and park the pup. I would save a little, not a lot. I usually avg. around 12mpg going down to BSSP. If I'm not pulling the house I can get up to 18.

I guess I will have to work more off-duty!

Snagged has it right!

If you look at the profit margin of let's say Exxon Mobil, they are making about nine cents on a gallon of gas. If you want to know where the rest goes, take a look at the theives we have voted into office! I don't know exactly the number, but the state and federal government make at least three times that much on a gallon ! Is that money going to improve the highway systems, or is it thrown into general revenue and used to fund some failed "new deal" social program designed to buy votes from someone.

Since someone already made this a red/blue thing, if you think getting prison shanked at the pump is bad, wait till the dem congress doubles the largest tax increase in history. I thought slick willy was bad! Bye bye extra money in my pocket to even buy gas. Maybe I can hitch a ride on Al Gore's Gulfstream and just walk in his "carbon footprint".
