It's pretty close to a C note to fill my truck if it is below a 1/4 tank A 100 back from the government is a joke. How about we zip the lips of the future commodity guys (and gals) bidding it up on Wall St.


If they are bidding on oil still in the ground , why is the price at the pump rising daily? Why isn't it (pump price) raised when the oil actually comes out of the ground and is refined? Supposedly we are sitting on a reserve with an 8 year high. Execs watch the prices of Futures and raise the price from there. To me this is gouging as the fuel at the pumps is already paid for.

I see most of you guys don't want that $100 and tax roll backs, Just mail me your $100 if you dont want it.

No Escalade here. This gets about 13 MPG. (tank is 35 gallons)

I've been using an Escalade for a beach buggy for some time. Waiting for the front bumper rack to get back from the chrome shop.

The best part is, if I get stuck I can just tweak the crossover for a little more bass and literally sift myself down to the bedrock...

I'll say it again, if its "nothing" then you can send it my way. I'll make some good use of that "nothing"! If the feds want to give you money back take it! That doesnt happen very often.
