This just in: We're fucked regardless. The rich oil companies (reporting record profits again) will continue to get richer, and they'll do it by taking your money, either as tax breaks or at the pump.

How exactly would you like your fucking, sir?

[anthonyk]

Give it to me at the pump, please. At least it's a more honest-feeling screwing.

Reaganomics is bullshit. That POS was the one who introduced corporations into government.

This is the biggest problem. No really viable options. Oh, I know, get a job closer to work so you can walk or ride a bicycle. Great, except for the fact I still have to buy groceries, pick up and take my daughter to school, haul stuff places, etc. I can't move my job closer to my daugher's school and can't move her school closer to my job. Once my daughter is no longer on training wheels, I will likely ride a bike, and just have her ride to school as well. Sorry, she can't ride the bus from my house, her mom lives in a different school district than I do.

Buy a more fuel-efficient car. Great, so now I have to spend several thousand dollars so that I can get 40 mpg instead of 33 mpg. No thanks. Motorcycle has the same limitations as walking or riding a bicycle, so that doesn't help (although I ride it when possible). There are no real alternative sources of energy and frankly, there is no REAL reason for gas to be $4 a gallon. But the oil companies have finally figured out there isn't shit we can do about it, so they keep finding ways to cause a "shortage." Fuckers.

i have a honda FIT(fag in transit)and i get 38+ miles to the gallon, car cost 17k. i could probably pick up a few more mpg's if i would make a short ram intake for the car.

Mmm yes and stealing everyones hard earned money through the irs and then awarding it to baby factories and illegals works sooo much better. You're blind faith in that rolling whore we call government makes a fantastic argument towards manditory conscription in this country. Alas you won't even be able to connect those dots

Newsflash: it ain't just big oil who want expensive gas

LMAO..... no.

First, "short ram" is a dumb riceboy term. While the word "short" is indeed correct, there is absolutely no "ramming" going on with those things.

Just call it a cone filter on a pipe and be done with it.

Second, I've never gained any MPG from those things. All they do is add noise and a bit of power.
