    You are right, but even if they had better public transportation system here in Los Angeles, I don't see people taking the bus anytime soon, plus everything is so spread out that It would take forever to get from point A to point B.


    PS: I wish we had a better system, until I moved to CA, I always used the bus, train and subway, it was soo nice not to have to deal with the commuting traffic, the guy or the lady reading the paper, applying make up, or eating, or texting, reading a kindle or just being in their own planet while they drive, way less stressful and much cheaper.

    Car pool. Then it is like your paying $2 a gallon because you can split the cost. Even less if you get more people.

    what happens if everyone switches to electric cars? there is no way the power grid could handle it. during a recent snow storm we had there were rolling blackouts b/c of the stress on the grid from everyone using their heaters! Imagine if we added the stress of charging cars to it!!!!

    We'll be paying 4x our electricity costs. It takes oil to make the electricity to power the cars. We're not going anywhere without oil in the next couple of decades. Like I said before, our stupid ass president needs to drill in the gulf and stop being a fucking moron.

    Alaska has tons of oil and other natural resources that could get tapped too. We could become fully independent and just use all our own stuff.

    Hit $3.40 gal. here and rising fast. Was told by a few owners it's headed to $4.39 as a projected price. Just can't figure out why Auto makers can't get MPG's up to 50+ a mile :( We are being dryhumped by by everyone.....

    just watched a Documentary titled "Gashole". if you found Gasland interesting, check it out. It gives an abreviated history of petroleum in the united states. the public is heavily manipulated when it comes to petroleum pricing. you will utter WTF at least a couple times whilst viewing. water injected carburetor and direct vapor injection FTW!
